Question

I’m doing the following query:

SELECT DISTINCT column1, colum2 FROM table.... WHERE....

but I don’t want that the result returned were in order.
How can I avoid that sql sort this rows?

Answer 1

They are not getting sort per se, they are just returning using whatever index is on your table or just scanning the whole table. If you want them sort randomly, then you need to explicitely say so on your query:

SELECT *
FROM (SELECT DISTINCT column1, colum2 
      FROM table.... 
      WHERE....) A
ORDER BY NEWID()
