I'm trying to create a portion of script that would select x (variable) number of random records from a table.
in PHP, I could do this pretty simply with a line like, "select * from table order by rand() limit x", but the solutions I've seen so far for asp and access involve things like 40 lines of code, selecting the entire contents of a database, creating temporary tables, etc.
Is there any quick and dirty way of doing this?

View Replies View Relatedill have a database with 1 table and 3 fields:
ID FIRSTNAME LASTNAME
(the ID field will be the auto incrementing index)
there might be 10 records in the DB, there might be 10,000. i need to open the DB and randomly select a record (and then display the name, which i dont have a problem with)
how can i randomly select a record? im guessing id have to open a recordset and check the count to get the number of records, so lets say there were 100 records. i imagine i would have to generate a random number between 1 and 100....
obviously in standard asp. and i'm not even sure where to begin. I currently have it set up for a random quote every time a user refreshes the site. This was no problem. Any help or if you can point me in the right direction.

2. Controlling whether it is in database.

View Replies View RelatedThere are 26 prizes available in a competition a client is running and he wants to be able to select these at random.
I thought the best way of doing this would be to construct a simple ASP page which displays 26 random records from the database.
The fields I wish to display are called name, email and address, and these are located in the table called Competition (this is an MS Access db).

I'm a newb - so if this is a stupid question, my apologies.
I have a simple form that users fill out and then that info is written to a database. What I'd like to do is perform a calcution on a number and then write those numbers to other records in the database.
So for instance, if someone enters 12 in one field1, it would multiply that by 3 and that would be saved as field2, then mulitply it by 45 and that would be field3, then add field2 and field3 and save that as field4.
I was thiking of passing the form variables to a second page instead of writing them to the database, then using variables in the second page to perform the calculations and then have the second page write all the info to the database, but I thought there had to be a better solution.
We have a fairly large datbase containing thousands of part numbers, product names and pricing. We used to update new pricing changes individually by hand. However, now that our database has grown substantially, I'm wondering what the best method would be to keep the pricing current on our database?
We can obtain new price lists in excel format, however, the part numbers the mfgs use may not necessarily coincide with the part numbers we have. Should I just write some SQL script? Look into using XML? What would be the most efficient way to tackle this problem?
I was playing around in FrontPage and I noticed that you could insert an ActiveX control for a calendar. I would like to be able to use this to integrate with a database - for example, I would like to be able to click on a day of the month and have the page display all data associated with that date (sort of a select * from database where date = "date_clicked_on")

We use an ASP application in which we send out emails using cdo for various
events.
At present the email text is hard coded into the code. for example
strMessage = "Dear " & rs("firstname")
strMessage = strMessage & "Your request has been approved with reference id
" & rs("id")
This causes an administration overhead as everytime the text of the message
needs to be changed we need to alter the code to incorporate text or
database values.
What we want is to store the message text into a table so it can be altered
by the application administrators through GUI by adding the text through
freetext entry and field names though a dropdown. Code:
However, what I want to do is include a request.querystring("ID"), so that IF an ID is defined, eg ID=3, , it will display the relevant (not random) information. I've tried this every way I can think and get type mismatches, etc etc. It's probably really simple but I can't see it.

We have the need to have a random token (a 16 char alphanumeric field) to be used as the key for one of our SQL tables. I have created a random token generator, however after only 3 months in production, it appears that we had an instance where a token that already existed in the tables was created. There are 3810 records currently in the database so it isn't like there are billions of records there.
I contacted an old college buddy of mine who is a mathematician, and he claims, assuming that random really does mean random, that the chances of getting a duplicate token are 1 in 79.5 septillion (79,500,000,000,000,000,000,000,000).
So my conclusion is that this was either a complete freak of nature occurance, or my random generator isn't really all that random. Here is the code behind how I am generating this: Code:
