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

所有最好的答案都已经贴出来了(主要是那些引用了http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/mysql/order-by-rand/的链接)。

I want to pinpoint another speed-up possibility - caching. Think of why you need to get random rows. Probably you want display some random post or random ad on a website. If you are getting 100 req/s, is it really needed that each visitor gets random rows? Usually it is completely fine to cache these X random rows for 1 second (or even 10 seconds). It doesn't matter if 100 unique visitors in the same 1 second get the same random posts, because the next second another 100 visitors will get different set of posts.

当使用这种缓存时，你也可以使用一些较慢的解决方案来获取随机数据，因为不管你的req/s如何，它每秒只会从MySQL中获取一次。

我使用了Riedsio发布的http://jan.kneschke.de/projects/mysql/order-by-rand/(我使用了返回一个或多个随机值的存储过程的情况):

   DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS rands;
   CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE rands ( rand_id INT );

    loop_me: LOOP
        IF cnt < 1 THEN
          LEAVE loop_me;
        END IF;

        INSERT INTO rands
           SELECT r1.id
             FROM random AS r1 JOIN
                  (SELECT (RAND() *
                                (SELECT MAX(id)
                                   FROM random)) AS id)
                   AS r2
            WHERE r1.id >= r2.id
            ORDER BY r1.id ASC
            LIMIT 1;

        SET cnt = cnt - 1;
      END LOOP loop_me;

在这篇文章中，他通过维护一个表(使用触发器等)解决了id中的间隙导致不那么随机的结果的问题。参见文章); 我通过向表中添加另一列来解决这个问题，用连续的数字填充，从1开始(编辑:此列添加到运行时由子查询创建的临时表中，不影响永久表):

   DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS rands;
   CREATE TEMPORARY TABLE rands ( rand_id INT );

    loop_me: LOOP
        IF cnt < 1 THEN
          LEAVE loop_me;
        END IF;

        SET @no_gaps_id := 0;

        INSERT INTO rands
           SELECT r1.id
             FROM (SELECT id, @no_gaps_id := @no_gaps_id + 1 AS no_gaps_id FROM random) AS r1 JOIN
                  (SELECT (RAND() *
                                (SELECT COUNT(*)
                                   FROM random)) AS id)
                   AS r2
            WHERE r1.no_gaps_id >= r2.id
            ORDER BY r1.no_gaps_id ASC
            LIMIT 1;

        SET cnt = cnt - 1;
      END LOOP loop_me;

在文章中，我可以看到他花了很大的精力来优化代码;我不知道我的改变是否/有多大影响性能，但对我来说非常好。

这非常快，而且是100%随机的，即使你有间隙。

将SELECT Count(*)中可用的行数计算为rows FROM TABLE 选择10个不同的随机数a_1,a_2，…，a_10在0到x之间 SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT 1 offset a_i for i=1，…，10

我在Bill Karwin的《SQL反模式》一书中发现了这个破解方法。

如果你只有一个读请求

将@redsio的答案与一个临时表结合起来(600K并不是很多):

DROP TEMPORARY TABLE IF EXISTS tmp_randorder;
CREATE TABLE tmp_randorder (id int(11) not null auto_increment primary key, data_id int(11));
INSERT INTO tmp_randorder (data_id) select id from datatable;

然后用一个@redsios的版本回答:

SELECT dt.*
FROM
       (SELECT (RAND() *
                     (SELECT MAX(id)
                        FROM tmp_randorder)) AS id)
        AS rnd
 INNER JOIN tmp_randorder rndo on rndo.id between rnd.id - 10 and rnd.id + 10
 INNER JOIN datatable AS dt on dt.id = rndo.data_id
 ORDER BY abs(rndo.id - rnd.id)
 LIMIT 1;

如果表比较大，可以先筛选第一部分:

INSERT INTO tmp_randorder (data_id) select id from datatable where rand() < 0.01;

如果你有很多读请求

Version: You could keep the table tmp_randorder persistent, call it datatable_idlist. Recreate that table in certain intervals (day, hour), since it also will get holes. If your table gets really big, you could also refill holes select l.data_id as whole from datatable_idlist l left join datatable dt on dt.id = l.data_id where dt.id is null; Version: Give your Dataset a random_sortorder column either directly in datatable or in a persistent extra table datatable_sortorder. Index that column. Generate a Random-Value in your Application (I'll call it $rand). select l.* from datatable l order by abs(random_sortorder - $rand) desc limit 1;

这个解决方案用最高和最低的random_sortorder来区分“边缘行”，所以在间隔中重新排列它们(一天一次)。

它是非常简单的单行查询。

SELECT * FROM Table_Name ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,10;
