Random in SQL – SQL For Programmers
November 4th, 2008 |

Last week I had an interesting assignment: Given a specific record, randomly retrieve three related records from the database.
Naturally, as a programmer, I started looking for the SQL random function. Which I found.
But even as I was searching for how to use that function, I was thinking to myself, “How am I going to structure things in such a way so as to randomly select the records once I have the function? It isn’t like I can retrieve the records into an array and then select them out. Am I going to have to retrieve them into a temp table?”
