I've tried Googling till my brain is fried and I'm obviously missing something because I'm not finding anything useful.
I'm trying to select names at random from a table that contains the name and the frequency at which it is actually used in society. The table is defined as follows: CREATE TABLE `MaleNames` ( `Name_ID` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, `Name` char(50) default NULL, `Frequency` decimal(5,3) default NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`Name_ID`) ) Some examples: 1, Aaron, 0.240 3, Abe, 0.006 13, Adrian, 0.069 What's the best way to select names at random from this but still take into account frequency of use?
