ORDER BY "random?" from MySQL

Postby Ebba » Sun Sep 05, 2004 12:26 pm

When I list things from a MySQL database I can order by different things, but how can I do to just show random posts from the database?

You are pretty close to the answer, you should use ORDER BY RAND()

Does that ensure that the same row isn't picked more than once?

Yes, its just how to order them. No duplicates with RAND()
