Dear MySQL masters, Is there any way to display a random record from a table. If there are no direct SQL commands can you pls suggest a logic for doing the same. Details: There is a table of 200 records. The user must be able to select a record randomly. Once that record is displayed then that record will not be available for the next query. (this I am planning to do with a flag field and adding this in the query statement). SELECT * from $table WHERE flag != 'TRUE'; I am using PHP to retrieve the records. so the PHP function mysql_fetch_array($query); should retrieve a random record, not a record in any particular order (ORDER BY). If anybody has got any suggestions on this please send it to me. thanks Sheni R Meledath [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
