Try 250E15. Just 1 constant instead of 6 constants and 5 multiplication operations (for each and every row).
-----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: sqlite-users [mailto:sqlite-users-boun...@mailinglists.sqlite.org] Im Auftrag von Cecil Westerhof Gesendet: Dienstag, 05. September 2017 13:49 An: SQLite mailing list <sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org> Betreff: [EXTERNAL] [sqlite] Better way to use a large constant I have the following query: SELECT * , abs(random()) / (250 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) + 1 AS randomiser FROM stock ORDER BY randomiser + julianday("Last Used") LIMIT <SOME VALUE> I prefer to use something I never used or long ago. That is why I use the random. Randomiser gives a value between 1 and 37. I use: (250 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000 * 1000) because I find that more clear as: 250000000000000000 But is there a better way? -- Cecil Westerhof _______________________________________________ sqlite-users mailing list sqlite-users@mailinglists.sqlite.org http://mailinglists.sqlite.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/sqlite-users ___________________________________________ Gunter Hick Software Engineer Scientific Games International GmbH FN 157284 a, HG Wien Klitschgasse 2-4, A-1130 Vienna, Austria Tel: +43 1 80100 0 E-Mail: h...@scigames.at This communication (including any attachments) is intended for the use of the intended recipient(s) only and may contain information that is confidential, privileged or legally protected.
