I need to select a random record from TABLE. It might look easy with using RAND() function, but the tricky part is that ID's which are the PRIMARY KEY, were assigned as a random number.
So right now ID's in that TABLE look some thing like that: -18745, 45809, 129, -5890023, 487910943, -209, etc...
If any one have any ideas please respond.
Thanks in advance.

Consider the below code: I am trying to find a way so that my select statement (which will actually be used to insert records) can randomly place values in the Source and Type columns that it selects from a list which in this case is records in a table variable. I dont really want to perform the insert inside a loop since the production version will work with millions of records. Anyone have any suggestions of how to change the subqueries that constitute these columns so that they are randomized?
SET NOCOUNT ON
Declare @RandomRecordCount as int, @Counter as int
Select @RandomRecordCount = 1000
Declare @Type table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Source table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @Users table (Name nvarchar(200) NOT NULL)
Declare @NumericBase table (Number int not null)
Set @Counter = 0
while @Counter < @RandomRecordCount
begin
Insert into @NumericBase(Number)Values(@Counter)
set @Counter = @Counter + 1
end
Insert into @Type(Name)
Select 'Type: Buick' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Cadillac' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: Chevrolet' UNION ALL
Select 'Type: GMC'
Insert into @Source(Name)
Select 'Source: Japan' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: China' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: Spain' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: India' UNION ALL
Select 'Source: USA'
Insert into @Users(Name)
Select 'keith' UNION ALL
Select 'kevin' UNION ALL
Select 'chris' UNION ALL
Select 'chad' UNION ALL

hello members
i want to no that weathere there is any procedure to select come random records from the database
for eg i want to select 10 students out of 100 randomly
is there any query for this in SQL server 200
I am using this select statement to radomly display a recordSelectCommand="SELECT TOP 1 * FROM [TBL_Example] ORDER BY NEWID()I need to, however, flag this record, to determine if it has already been previously randomly selected, and won't take part in future random selections.I will need to add a where clause to the above, but what I am unsure of is what I should do for the insert statement. I guess I could figure this out on my own as well if I could determine a means to prgramatically store my PK from the above record in session.Any ideas?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm familiar with querying for a random record, however I can't seem to do it using a parameter driven TOP value.
Here's what I've tried in a stored procedure:
(
@Count int = 1
)
declare @sql varchar(1000)
set @sql = 'SELECT DISTINCT TOP ' + convert(varchar, @Count) + ' * FROM RandomisedView'
The view I am using looks like:
SELECT TOP 100 PERCENT dbo.TableName.* ORDER BY NEWID()
The stored procedure does not seem to cause the View to reorder the records.

View 1 Replies View RelatedIf I have a table structure similar to the following, how might I query it to obtain the Transaction ID, Transaction Date, and Customer Name for the most recent transaction per customer only:
TransactionTable:
TransactionID TransactionDate TransactionType CustomerName
1 10/1/07 1 Bob
2 8/30/07 2 Janet
3 9/17/07 1 Mike
4 9/25/07 1 Bob
The following query will return all records in the table other than Janets...not what I want:
SELECT Transaction ID, TransactionDate, CustomerName
FROM TransactionTable
WHERE TransactionType = 1
ORDER BY TransactionDate DESC
The following query will return all records in the table other than Janets again, because DISTINCT will use the combo of TransactionID, TransactionDate, and Customer name for uniqueness...not what I want:
SELECT DISTINCT Transaction ID, TransactionDate, CustomerName
FROM TransactionTable
WHERE TransactionType = 1
ORDER BY TransactionDate DESC
The results set I'm looking for would be the following, where only the most recent entry per customer with TransactionType 1 is returned (i.e. one record for Bob):
TransactionTable:
TransactionID TransactionDate CustomerName
1 10/1/07 Bob
3 9/17/07 Mike
I believe I need an appropriate subquery to yield the results I desire, but can't sort out what it is? I do not want to execute multiple queries but subqueries are fine. Unfortunately there's probably an easy answer that my brain is not currently generating. Any help would be appreciated.
Note, this is not a real table, but a sample to illustrate the concept for the query I need.
Thanks.
Hi guys,
anyone can help me?
i using sp to select a select statement from a join table. due to the requirement, i need to group the data into monthly/weekly basic.
so i already collect the data for the month and use the case to make a new compute column in the selete statement call weekGroup. this is just a string showing "week 1", "week 2" .... "week 5".
so now i want to group the weekgroup and disply the average mark. so i need to insert all the record from the select statement into the temporary table and then use 2nd select statement to collect the new data in 5 record only. may i know how to make this posible?

Hey gang,
I've got a query and I'm really not sure how to get what I need. I've got a unix datasource that I've setup a linked server for on my SQL database so I'm using Select * From OpenQuery(DataSource, 'Query')
I am able to select all of the records from the first two tables that I need. The problem I'm having is the last step. I need a field in the select statement that is going to be a simple yes or no based off of if a customer number is present in a different table. The table that I need to look into can have up to 99 instances of the customer number. It's a "Note" table that stores a string, the customer number and the sequence number of the note. Obviously I don't want to do a straight join and query because I don't want to get 99 duplicates records in the query I'm already pulling.
Here's my current Query this works fine:
Select *From OpenQuery(UnixData, 'Select CPAREC.CustomerNo, CPBASC_All.CustorCompName, CPAREC.DateAdded, CPAREC.Terms, CPAREC.CreditLimit, CPAREC.PowerNum
From CPAREC Inner Join CPBASC_All on CPAREC.CustomerNo = CPBASC_All.CustomerNo
Where DateAdded >= #12/01/07# and DateAdded <= #12/31/07#')
What I need to add is one more column to the results of this query that will let me know if the Customer number is found in a "Notes" table. This table has 3 fields CustomerNo, SequenceNo, Note.
I don't want to join and select on customer number as the customer number maybe repeated as much as 99 times in the Notes table. I just need to know if a single instance of the customer number was found in that table so I can set a column in my select statement as NotesExist (Yes or No)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello all,I'm using SS 2000Based on the following table and data:CREATE TABLE T (F1 VARCHAR(1),F2 INT,F3 INT)/* T has no unique key *//* The data */INSERT INTO TSELECT 'A' AS F1, 1 AS F2, 10 AS F3UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 2, 12UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 3, 11UNION ALLSELECT 'A', 4, 10UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 3, 11UNION ALLSELECT 'A', 0, 0UNION ALLSELECT 'B', 2, 5UNION ALLSELECT 'D', 6, 7In the real situation, T is a subquery build from some tables and views. Icannot easily send the real problem.I want a query that will return:- One row for each different F1, no matter which it is.- Ideally, no temporary table should be created. Only subquery.- F2 and F3 must come from the same row. So the use of aggregate functionsto retreive each of them cannot be used.A possible result could be:F1 F2 F3---- --------- -----------A 1 10B 2 12D 6 7How could I do that?Thanks for your helpYannick

Hi,
I need to select few items from sql database.I know for ORDER BY, but I need those items to be mixed in random order every time when they are returned from database. Those are the same items every time, just randomly mixed.
Can i do it with SQL, or I have to find another way (e.g. to mix them after sql returns them)?
I have a table with two columns: value and weight (weight is smallint).
I want a query that will return the value of one row at random with the added requirement that rows with a higher weight have a higher probability of being chosen. Any ideas?
