I appreciate the response. I am executing a statement to retrieve one record at random. An example would be: SELECT first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth from sometable order by rand() limit 1 It would be contained as: stmt = "SELECT first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth from sometable order by rand() limit 1" Then I would execute it with the command: cursor.execute(stmt) How would I correctly seed the random generator in the MySQL statement from within Python?
