Optimizer stuff
mysql> explain extended select ...; mysql> show warnings \G
Shows what the optimizer actually did. In this example, An IN was converted to EXISTS
Random SELECT
My solution to this problem is using User Defined Variables. Let’s say we want X random rows from a table myTable.
SELECT myTable.* FROM (SELECT FLOOR (RAND() * (SELECTcount(*) FROM myTable)) num ,@num:=@num+1 from (SELECT @num:=0) a , myTable LIMIT X) b , myTable WHERE b.num=myTable.id;
I will try to explain some of the parts:
- FLOOR (RAND() * (SELECT count(*) FROM myTable)) num - produce an integer value between 0 to the max rows this table has
- (SELECT @num:=0) a – initialize the User Defined Variable a to zero
- (SELECT FLOOR (RAND() * (SELECTcount(*) FROM myTable)) num ,@num:=@num+1 from (SELECT @num:=0) a , myTable LIMIT X) b – produces X random integer numbers
If you need it with range, say X random rows from a table myTable with a range from S to T you can write it like this:
SELECT myTable.* FROM (SELECT FLOOR (S + RAND() * (T – S)) num ,@num:=@num+1 FROM (SELECT @num:=0) a , myTable LIMIT X) b , myTable WHERE b.num=myTable.id;
Some caution:
because this query uses User Defined Variable (@num) which are connection specific, you can NOT use this MySQL query with a system that uses connection pooling or persistent connections.
If there are some holes in the table you can fix it by:
SELECT (SELECT myTable2.id from myTable myTable2 where myTable2.id>=b.num LIMIT 1) c FROM (SELECT FLOOR(RAND() * (SELECTcount(*) FROM myTable)) num ,@num:=@num+1 FROM (SELECT @num:=0) a , myTable LIMIT X) b ;
To improve performance you can combine this solution with a left join:
SELECT IF(c.id is null, (SELECT c2.id FROM myTable c2 WHERE c2.id > b.num LIMIT 1), c.id) d FROM (SELECT FLOOR(RAND() * (SELECTcount(*) FROM myTable)) num ,@num:=@num+1 FROM (SELECT @num:=0) a , myTable LIMIT X) b LEFT JOIN myTable c ON( c.id=b.num);
