Hi, Can someone tell me which query would be faster with say 1000 rows: SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3;
or SELECT * FROM table; then use php to get 3 random rows from the returned data? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Before posting, please check: http://www.mysql.com/manual.php (the manual) http://lists.mysql.com/ (the list archive) To request this thread, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, e-mail <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Trouble unsubscribing?
