Can you provide any more details about what you are trying to accomplish? There have been several previous discussions about selecting random records from a table. You may want to look for those in the archives. If you really need to sort the entire table then you are probably stuck with the slow operation. If you only need a random subset of a table then you may be able to use some of these ideas to speed things up.
