This can be achieved by many means here a very simple way is given which shows a random row from the database but syntax for different database is different.
Select a random row with MySQL:
SELECT column FROM table
ORDER BY RAND()
LIMIT 1
Select a random row with PostgreSQL:
SELECT column FROM table
ORDER BY RANDOM()
LIMIT 1
Select a random row with Microsoft SQL Server:
SELECT TOP 1 column FROM table
ORDER BY NEWID()
Select a random row with IBM DB2
SELECT column, RAND() as IDX
FROM table
ORDER BY IDX FETCH FIRST 1 ROWS ONLY
Select a random record with Oracle:
SELECT column FROM
( SELECT column FROM table
ORDER BY dbms_random.value )
WHERE rownum = 1
I didn't heard about this random word. This is new information for me. How you got this information? Really it is very nice. Thanks for sharing this information.
