I don't think this will work as you expect. You will have to mark
those that you picked from those you haven't picked (and marked)
before.
> SELECT * FROM 5600k WHERE picked IS NULL ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 5000;
> But what I really want to do is:
> UPDATE 5600k SET picked=1 WHERE picked IS NULL ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 5000;
> Then doing:
> SELECT * FROM 5600k WHERE picked=1;
> Then resetting the table so I can pick a random selection again later:
> UPDATE 5600k SET picked=0 WHERE picked=1;
> So can the update statement be done to update random records?
