I am attempting to generate a random select from a database. Here's
basically what I'm trying to do:
1. select the qualified segments from a databaes (the query is... where moderator>'' and leadin>'')
2. from this selection, select 3 random segments.
I had thought that
select id,name,leadin from country whereoidrand(oid,3) in (select id,name,leadin from country where moderator>''
and leadin>'');
would work, but it definitely doesn't. I've been hacking around on this for
a while and can't seem to find a solution. I can get the system to select a
random number from the database, but not a random number of qualified
results.
Any suggestions from anyone?
