Easiest way to choose a percentage of an amount of rows from a MySQL table?
- by Rob
I have a script that has a GET variable: $_GET['percentage']
I have a MySQL table of data.
Now lets say that there are 100 rows of data in this table.
In pseudo-code:
SELECT data FROM table
Now would it be possible to select $_GET['percentage'] of random data from table?
For example (again in pseudo-code):
$_GET['percentage'] = 10;
SELECT 10% of data from table order by rand()
If this IS possible, how could I do it?
