SQL具有 RAND 函数，可以调用该函数以生成介于0和1之间的随机数-
SQL> SELECT RAND( ), RAND( ), RAND( ); +------------------+-----------------+------------------+ | RAND( ) | RAND( ) | RAND( ) | +------------------+-----------------+------------------+ | 0.45464584925645 | 0.1824410643265 | 0.54826780459682 | +------------------+-----------------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
当使用整数参数调用时，RAND()使用该值作为随机数生成器的种子。每次使用给定值为生成器播种时，RAND()将产生可重复的数字序列-
SQL> SELECT RAND(1), RAND( ), RAND( ); +------------------+------------------+------------------+ | RAND(1 ) | RAND( ) | RAND( ) | +------------------+------------------+------------------+ | 0.18109050223705 | 0.75023211143001 | 0.20788908117254 | +------------------+------------------+------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
您可以使用 ORDER BY RAND()将一组行或值随机化，如下所示-
要了解 ORDER BY RAND()函数，请考虑 employee_tbl 表，该表具有以下记录-
SQL> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl; +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
现在，使用以下命令-
SQL> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl ORDER BY RAND(); +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.01 sec)SQL> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl ORDER BY RAND(); +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
