RAND 函数
MySQL RAND函数，可以调用该函数以产生0到1之间的随机数-
mysql> SELECT RAND( ), RAND( ), RAND( );
+------------------+-----------------+------------------+
| RAND( ) | RAND( ) | RAND( ) |
+------------------+-----------------+------------------+
| 0.45464584825645 | 0.1824410643165 | 0.54826780759682 |
+------------------+-----------------+------------------+
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提供种子时，RAND()都会产生一系列可重复的数字-
mysql> 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，请考虑一个employee_tbl表，该表具有以下记录-
mysql> 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
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl ORDER BY RAND();
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |
| 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)
mysql> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl ORDER BY RAND();
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages |
+------+------+------------+--------------------+
| 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 |
| 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 |
| 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 (0.00 sec)
