Here's what I do in one of my applications. A two-step process minimum
(three if you get a total row count first):
upsert into DEMO(KEY_FIELD_1,KEY_FIELD_2,"random_sample" boolean) select
KEY_FIELD_1,KEY_FIELD_2,(rand()<(50.0/1000))
Where in this example, I want to randomly select 50 rows from a table
containing 1,000 rows. It will only be approximate. The ".0" is added to
make sure the division does not yield an int. You can replace the division
with any ratio you like.
Anyway, after doing the above upsert select, I can query for the random
rows like this:
select * from DEMO("random_sample" boolean) where "random_sample" is true
That's the best I could come up with using Phoenix 4.6.0.
Hope this helps,
Steve
