Situation: a table with a lot of photos, classified and with votes. I am doing this now:
SELECT n.nid, n.title, ....... order by v.value desc limit 0,5
I want to get a random result after sorting my lines by his votes. Now a table with hundreds of records gives me the top 5 rows. It’s always the same 5. It’s pretty repetitive, but of course 5 random lines will not be the best, since not all lines have a good quailty photo. Some may not be too good.
I do not want to just do this:
SELECT n.nid, ...... order by RAND() limit 0,5
I am looking for something like this:
SELECT n.nid, ..... order by RAND( v.value desc limit 0.10) limit 0,5
but, of course, this is not SQL :) Up to 50,000 rows are involved in the tables.
Thanks!
