Answer 1

Assuming that in a table MyTable you have a primary key ID field in a that is an autoincrement integer, you can do something like this to retrieve, say 10 random records from MyTable:

SELECT Top 10 *
FROM   (SELECT *,
           Rnd(ID) AS RandomValue
        FROM   MyTable)
ORDER  BY RandomValue
