Hmm looks like this query works

[Dathan Vance Pattishall]

I have a question. If I wanted to sort randomly on a column weighted by
the value of the column will does this query work
 
SELECT val_column, val_column*0.1+RAND() as rand_col from TABLE ORDER BY
rand_col limit 10;
 
This should five me a random row weighted by the value of the column is
this correct? Seems to be but I might be wrong.
 
Thanks for any tips
