select random row

how can you do that? is it possible? without knowing any of the column names, just returning a random row.

I think this has been mentioned before, but I couldn't remember the answer, so I did a search but I couldn't find it...

RE: select random row

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1

I can't really take the credit though -http://codewalkers.com/archives/sqlhelp/70.html

RE: select random row

hmm... but that one has 'issues'... I think I can use it though, thanks.

I hope they make a good random generator soon...
