2007-08-03 Thread Andrew Armstrong
Are you sure you want to delete random rows, or do you (if you have sequential IDs) just want to delete every n'th row? DELETE FROM table WHERE id MOD 5 = 0 Delete every 5th row from the table assuming sequential IDs with no missing numbers. Something like that anyway. -Original Message
