Have a look at RAND Ade
-----Original Message----- From: Andy Hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 September 2002 16:03 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [ cf-dev ] Slightly OT: Returning a random row from SQL Server Hi, I need to retrieve a random row from a table. Although I could get the whole recordset and select one in CF, I would prefer to only return the single row of data I need. Can anyone give me a neat method of getting SQL Server 7 to get one random row? I have got a random number based on the number of records, but unless I can access that row directly (like in CF - queryname.columnname[x]) then I dont know of a way to get the row. Does anyone know if I can do this? Any help appreciated Andy Hall. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For human help, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
