Random row
Sorry, i know this is probably an easy question, but i'm not too familiar with SQL, but how do you select a random row from the database?

this is what i have so far
php Code:
Original - php Code 
  1.  
  2. mysql_connect(HOST, USER, PASS) or die("Couldnt connect to database");
  3. mysql_select_db(DB) or die("Couldnt select database");
  4. $result = mysql_query("SELECT `quote` FROM `quotes` ORDER BY `rand()` LIMIT 1");
  5. $row = "mysql_fetch_array($result)";
  6.             
  7. echo "{$row['quote']}";


cheers

RE: Random row
The easiest way to select a random row is just like :

SELECT * FROM table ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1
