SQL Server Random Sort

I guess it sounds stupid but I want to retrieve a few records randomly each time user refreshes the page. is there any Query available for SQL Server 2005 to do that or should I do this in page?

Answer 1

Try this:

SELECT TOP 10 Field1, ..., FieldN FROM Table1 ORDER BY NEWID()

NEWID() creates a unique value of uniqueidentifier type. Take a look at this.

Hope it helps.
