1) Is there any way to select a random record from Freebase? If I do a limit of 1, it consistently returns the same record. I could grab the larger data set and select a random rec from that but that seems like overkill. Analogous to MySQL's :

select * from profiles order by rand() limit 1;

2) Is there any way to tell Freebase not to select certain items in a set?

Analogous to MySQL's :

select * from profiles  where id NOT IN (SELECT profile_id from approved_profiles)

Thanks in advance
