I have to develop an online quiz on my website. the site is developed in ASP.
i have a access database of the questions, the multiple ans.s and the correct ans. every quest. has an unique id.
i want a way by which any 10 'unique' quests. will be selected from the database everytime an user takes the test.
How can I generate a unique random number?

View Replies View RelatedI have a tablet structutre that is the following:
id customer error
1 custa 0
2 custb 1
1 custa 3
2 custb 0
1 custa 0
Each id is unique to customer. I have a table with over 100 rows of the above.I need a way to pull that last three occurances of error number 0 for each customer? I was trying to use a subselect but i was having trouble.
I have an .asp page with a form to copy job responsibilites form one
job to another. It is a hotmail type interface with checkboxes
besides each responsibility. After submitting, it should copy the
selected resp's to a different job. After that it should renumber
that job's responsibilities.
This is the code I am using now to copy:
copySQL4 = "INSERT INTO
jambue.RESP(POSCODE,IDCODE1,IDCODE2,RESP_NUM,RESP) SELECT '" & id & "'
POSCODE,'" & dept & "' IDCODE1,'" & unit & "' IDCODE2, '999' RESP_NUM,
RESP FROM jambue.RESP WHERE (POSCODE = '" & POSCODE & "' AND IDCODE1 =
'" & sourceDept & "' AND IDCODE2 = '" & sourceUnit & "') AND RESP_NUM
IN (" & Request.Form("chk") & ")"
As you can see the value '999' is hardcoded in there as the new
Responsibility Number to go with the copied responsibility. I use
this because there are no jobs with that many responsibilities. This
works fine if I only select one resp. to copy over. But if I select
more than one that part still runs fine but I get an error with the
below. It says too many rows would be affected. Of course, this must
be because there are now at least 2 responsibilites with the same
RESP_NUM. Code:
I want to take 3 records from a database. The selection must first take any record marked as priority and then random records (so there could be 3 priority records and no more or 1 priority and 2 random etc)
My theory is to build a recordset filtered by records marked priority, and if there are less than 3, build a second recordset of all the other records.
Questions
1, how can I select random records form the second recordset, without selecting the same one twice?
2, OR, could I write a sql statement which would randomly select 3 records from my table
3, Or is they a way I could write a query (view) in Access which would do the whole lot for me (select the priority records and then random records up to 3)?
I know how to generate random record from a database, the problem i need to overcome is like this:
1.If the user refreshes the page is a way i can control the randomized data from not repeating itself on display?
I have read 10000 opinions on returning random records and I am more
confused now that before I started. I have a small access db that will
contain 20 or so rows with 3 or 4 columns. I like to return a set of 6
distinct rows and display the columns in html. I have seen response.write
and loops but can't I throw the 6 random rows in a array and pull the data
as I need it in the page? Examples?
I have this page where I want to display 3 random pictures in a vertical table. Each picture represents a record in an Access database. The field "picname" holds the name of the picture (e.g. "pic1.jpg", "pic2.jpg", etc). Each record has a unique ID. How do I go about selecting these 3 records? I want the pictures to alternate everytime someone enters the page or refreshes it. I found a couple of javascript options, but they only choose the picture from within a folder, and I need to be able to link the pictures to each record.I don't know if I made myself clear enough.
View Replies View RelatedI am doing a simple program which display random records to students.The student table has the following fields(Access Database) Code:
1.Studentid-Number
2.Studentname-Text
3.Class-Text
4.Ans-Text
and Question table as
1.Questionid-Number
2.Questions-Text
Now What i am trying to do is , when the first time is student is login,he wil be shown a random record from the question and his answered wil be stored in the Ans field of the student table with column separeated.
The he will be redirected to the same page with one new question.This question should not be in the Ans Field, and must be randomly generated.I am using this code.But this not working. Code:
Here's what i need:
[vbs]
"SELECT * FROM Articles WHERE Category = 'Reviews' and SubCat = {RANDOM CATEGORY} LIMIT 5;"

Now, I think the last post on the thread I read said the guy could make an Array and just pick a random item out of that...and that makes sense in my case, listing all the Categories and then picking a random one.But, I don't know how to do it! I don't have much experience in arrays
i am currently working on an online test tool using ASP. Now, the questions would be generated randomly from a database(access), so two or more candidates will not have the same question. There will be one question per page. Now, i have successfully generated the radom questions from the database.
But i have a problem which is:
1. When i click the next link to go the next question, my code displays the question on the previous.
2. Also, when i click on the previous link to go back to the previous question my code changes the question from the previously answered to a new question. Code:
Im looking for a very simple and small script that will display 2 random records for a database, but i havnt found one yet. Can someone help me on this one?
View Replies View RelatedI'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?

I have two different news tables. I can't get any of them and list.
Bu i want to do something different. I want to get both and randomize them and list them.

etc.
is that possible, because i couln't find any solution for this.
I have been using this script which basically works fine, with on hitch. I populate a recordset from a database. Then, use the total number of records as a UBound.
I then want to display 9 random records. I get my 9 random images, but for some reason, if I do a sort by ID on the database, the lowest numbered ID file never comes up in the list. Here is my code: Code:
The following code should select the specified number of records randomly from the database .....
View Replies View RelatedI know there are plenty of threads relating to 'random' records, but non of the code samples seem to return random results each time I refresh the page; or don't show any results at all? The ID numbers for my recordset are not necessarily consecutive numbers (some items may have been deleted). I simply want to feature 2 or 3 random news teasers on my home page WHERE feature="yes". I guess I need to call 3 random id's, and keep looking until a record is returned? I would also like to change the number of 'teasers' displayed via another database table - I can do this later, but the code has to accommodate a flexible way to change how many records are returned.
Here's the Access table:
news (TBL):
id
title
shortdescr
longdescr
feature
If you have a possible answer for me could you please provide sample code and spell it out clearly.
I Have searched the forum but have no solution to this problem.
I want to display my records in a random order. I loop through my records so I don't know how many records will be displayed. I dont want to count the records and then use the TOP statement. I'm looking for a better solution.

rs.Open SELECT test FROM testTable WHERE testId = 1, objConn
Do While Not rs.EOF
Response.Write "<b>" & rs("test") & "</b>" <- I want theese records to be displayed in random order
rs.MoveNext
Loop
Anyone has a solution to this problem?
