如何从表中随机选择行:

从这里开始: 在MySQL中随机选择行

对“表扫描”的快速改进是使用索引来获取随机id。

SELECT *
FROM random, (
        SELECT id AS sid
        FROM random
        ORDER BY RAND( )
        LIMIT 10
    ) tmp
WHERE random.id = tmp.sid;

简单的查询，具有出色的性能和工作的差距:

SELECT * FROM tbl AS t1 JOIN (SELECT id FROM tbl ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 10) as t2 ON t1.id=t2.id

在一个200K表上的这个查询需要0.08秒，而在我的机器上，正常版本(SELECT * FROM tbl ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 10)需要0.35秒。

这是快速的，因为排序阶段只使用索引ID列。你可以在解释中看到这种行为:

SELECT * FROM tbl ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 10:

SELECT * FROM tbl AS t1 JOIN (SELECT id FROM tbl ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 10) AS t2 ON t1.id=t2.id

一个伟大的职位处理几个情况，从简单，到差距，到不均匀与差距。

对于大多数一般情况，你可以这样做:

SELECT name
  FROM random AS r1 JOIN
       (SELECT CEIL(RAND() *
                     (SELECT MAX(id)
                        FROM random)) AS id)
        AS r2
 WHERE r1.id >= r2.id
 ORDER BY r1.id ASC
 LIMIT 1

这假设id的分布是相等的，并且id列表中可能存在间隙。有关更高级的示例，请参阅本文

如果你想要一个随机记录(不管id之间是否有空隙):

PREPARE stmt FROM 'SELECT * FROM `table_name` LIMIT 1 OFFSET ?';
SET @count = (SELECT
        FLOOR(RAND() * COUNT(*))
    FROM `table_name`);

EXECUTE stmt USING @count;

我想这是最好的办法了。

SELECT id, id * RAND( ) AS random_no, first_name, last_name
FROM user
ORDER BY random_no

使用下面的简单查询从表中获取随机数据。

SELECT user_firstname ,
COUNT(DISTINCT usr_fk_id) cnt
FROM userdetails 
GROUP BY usr_fk_id 
ORDER BY cnt ASC  
LIMIT 10
