Hi Alan: Just wondering if you ever came to a resolution to your question below. I'm curious to hear how you solved this issue. Sincerely, Jon ----- Original Message ----- From: Alan Bourke To: [email protected] Sent: Friday, November 02, 2012 10:49 AM Subject: Random subset of records. Let's say I have a table, and there are a number of candidate records that I could potentially include in a particular process, then flag them as processed so they do not get included again. However, due to constraints I can only take a subset of those candidate records at a time. Using a SQL-Select, how would I retrieve a random subset of the records? -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://mail.leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/d5d2505fb1780c4584d3d02fcc765b3b11b34...@tnexchange1.mfc.corp.mckee.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
