How to display random results within selection

Recommended Posts

I'm using the code below, which displays the most recent 15 results. I'd like to modify it so that it displays the most recent 15 results in random order. How can I achieve this within the code below without having to use another query?

SELECT mem_id,type_id,date_added,value FROM sc_coins_asset WHERE value<>'0' ORDER BY date_added DESC LIMIT 0,15

Just use shuffle() in your application. There's no reason for doing this in MySQL.

 

hansford's query is incorrect, because it yields 15 random rows which are then ordered by date (the selected fields also don't match). You want the reverse order of operations. But then again, why use MySQL in the first place?
