I assume I'm right with the method above to select a random row? or any
other way?

Hi,
I'm trying to pull a random row from my database and display the contents.
I know that the code:
SELECT * FROM TABLENAME WHERE RAND() LIMIT 1
should work.
However, there are 19 rows in the database and only the first row ever shows
up.
Is there a way to do this to ensure uniqueness?
