I have a table with a Unique ID field and I would like to do a random
select on the table UID.

Basically I want to send the user to a page that displays that random
record.

Does SQL have a random function?  I cant find anything in my books.
SELECT rand(ID)
FROM table

Or should I select all records from the table and use CF to pick a
random record from the dataset?

Thanks,
Chad
