View 4 Replies View RelatedHi,I need to extract randomly 5 records from the table "Questions". Now I useSELECT TOP 5 FROM Questions ORDERBY NEWID()And it works. The problem is that I need an additional thing: if SQLextracts record with ID=4, then it should not extract record with ID=9,because they are similar. I mean, I'd like something to tell SQL that if itextracts some questions, then it SHOULD NOT extract other ones.How can I do it?Thanks!Luke

SELECT ((ACOS(SIN(34.37769 * PI() / 180) * SIN(latitude * PI() / 180)

First, I have that code whenever i disregard the "having ranges<=3" it selects record but when I include it it returns error. The problem is I want to just select records with ranges less than 3 miles..how do I do that.. and I want to count the number of selected rows and store it on a column on the same table.
I have a transformation where final result set give me 25 rows of data. Now before I put into destination table, I need to add another column which will show how many total records we have. Like.
My dataset:
A Â 20 abc
B 24 mnp
c 44 apq
Now I need to add another column within my transformation before I store the result set to destination like this:
A 20 abc 3
b 24 mnp 3
c 44 apq 3
Here. new column gives count of total rows in our dataset which was 3.
How can I achieve this? Can I use derive column to this?
I am new to SQL Server (coming from Oracle background) and have a large table I need to loop thru and assign a number 1 thru 5 on each record.
below is an example of how I would do it in Oracle.
declare
num number := 1;
cursor c_rec is SELECT rowid, t.* FROM temp t order by t.column;
begin
for d_rec in c_rec
loop
update temp set column = to_char(num)
[Code] ....
Generates a true random number from xxx to zzz. Uses a table variable so it all depends on the boundaries you specify how long it will take.
create procedure random_number

@number int = null output
as
set nocount on
declare @numbers table (number_id int identity(1,1), value int)
if @lower > @upper
begin
set @number = @lower
set @lower = @upper
set @upper = @number
end
set @number = rand((datepart(mm, getdate()) * 100000) + (datepart(ss, getdate()) * 1000) + datepart(ms, getdate()))
while (select count(*)
from @numbers) < (@upper - @lower + 1)
begin
insert into @numbers (value)
select (@upper - @lower + 1) * rand() + @lower
end
select @number = value
from @numbers
order by newid()

I need to update an integer column in my table with a random number. Here's what I've done so far (with the table name and column names changed):
UPDATE dbo.MyTable
SET Column1 = RAND() * 1000000
My question is, how come the values in my column all have the same value? I thought the RAND function gives out a random number? How can I update my table to generate random numbers?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
How can I update my users table and set the password field to a random number or string.
eg.
update tbl_users set password='a way to generate a random number say between 2000 and 100000 for example'
even better would be a randomly generated alphanumeric string.
All help much appreciated.

i have an application that uses a table for login access, for security reason i need to get a random numbers in this table daily. table consist of just two columns, userid and password. This table will be printed out on the web for users to get valid username and pw daily.
I m thinking about a job or dts package that will run once daily with a sql script to generate random number (referable 5 digit-letters and numbers), delete the table and re-create the table with same set column names and insert the random values in username and pw column.
Will appreciate help on this

I need to generate a random 10 digit alphanumeric string that is also unique within a table. My application will be calling a stored procedure to insert this number into the table. This number will be associated with a id from another table. Is it better to generate the random number within sql (and perform the lookup at the same time), then just pass the number back to the calling application ?
If the calling application generates the number, it will also need to make a call to check if its unique. So im thinking it would be best to simply have sql generate this random number, check the number against the table and then insert the new record.
thoughts ?
Lets say we have a table (tblProducts)
ID  Item           RandomNumber
-------------------------------------------
1Â Â Â JEANSÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 1234567

5Â Â Â BLAZERÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 0
I want to perform a query so that SQL should look for RandomNumber Values and set a Unique Random Number Where RandomNumber Value is Null or 0.So I have got a solution as one of the MSDN Member shared the below query
select id,item,RandomNumber=Case when RandomNumber=0 then (select floor(rand()*100000000-1))
when RandomNumber is null then (select floor(rand()*100000000-1))
else RandomNumber end from tblProducts
So, can you all confirm me, that performing this query ensures that if a Value is assigned to one of the Item in RandomNumber Column, that value will not be assignend to any other Item in RandoNumberColumn.
Hey Guys, I have a quick stored
procedure question for you. I created a procedure that returns a randomly
generated number.
I know there is a built in
Rand() function but I need to be able to
specify the range. Anyways, it€™s returning multiple numbers (1 for each row in
the tempTable)
But I just want one number returned.
I tried using MAX( ) but that€™s not a good way of doing it.
My question is, how do I return just
one record or number?
Thanks

I need a way to select records at random from a SQL Server 2000 table. If the record I've selected at random meets a few simple conditions (column X <> 'A' and column Y == 'Z') then return this record and get the next. Ideally I'd be able to do this in a stored proc where I'd call it with:
parameter 1: table name
parameter 2: number of random records to get
parameter 3: value for condition 1
parameter 4: value for condition 2
Any help will be greatly appreciated!
