title: How can I random seed a MySQL column?
body: <p>The column in my database contains 4 statuses:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>0-Active</li>
  <li>1-Awaiting User input</li>
  <li>2-Archive In Progress</li>
  <li>3-Excluded From Archival</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>I need to go through the column and randomly change things that are not marked as 0 to some random picking of the other 3 statuses. </p>
  
  <p>What would be the best way for me to go about this? It was requested I use a Python script with random seed so that the state could be recreated. Does anyone have thoughts?</p>
