That pulls the first1 record from the database. This will pull the first
1000 records...
SELECT TOP 1000 employee_id, newid() as new_id
FROM yourtable
I need a random record. Isn't there a rand funcion in SQL.... perhaps
something like....
SELECT Rand(employee_id) as RandomRecord
FROM yourtable
Seems like there's gotta be a simple solution.
Thanks,
Steve
