• Retrieve the random record from SQL and also an ORDER

  I need a query that is able to get X amount of random records from a database of SQL2008, but I also want those results to then order by a field in the same table numberic, camp_priority

  I have

  	SELECT TOP #DisplayAmount #, camp_uid, camp_title, camp_text, camp_image_type
  	Campaigns
  	WHERE camp_uid IN

  etc... etc.

  then, at the bottom, I

  ORDER BY newid (), camp_priority

  The problem seems to be that I'm random records, but it is not ordered by the camp_priority

  Anyone have any ideas?

  Thank you

  Hey Adam,.

  I misread your original post, now I see how it was supposed to work, just posted below... got it works... works very well. If all goes well, is not to kill the CPU that this query will use a LOT... I'll just take a plu ;-) CPU

  Regarding the performance of NEWID() issue, I do not have a specific link, I was just hunting around different forums etc and found a few posts that talked about performance issues and who had a command I never saw that took a percentage of files with a lot of perfomance test graphic showing it was 10 times slow the other approach.

  I'll just have to see how it goes

  Thanks for the help

  How to retrieve the records inserted with EMPTY_BLOb() instead of NULL value.

  There must be a better way, but these work:

  SELECT... from tableX where length (lob_column) = 0;
  SELECT... from tableX where dbms_lob.getlength (lob_column) = 0;

  In short... you can't.  The channels are channels, and SQL and PL languages dictate that the string literals are provided within single quotes.

  I don't see how trying to retrieve more than 200 records of employees in the select statement means that you must get rid of the quotes.

• How to retrieve text messages deleted from the Iphone 5

  How to retrieve deleted messages of I Phone 5?

  Unfortunately there is no way to recover messages text deleted from an iPhone, unless you had a previous backup in iTunes before delete you messages. Restore this backup would be the only way to recover deleted messages. Once they are deleted they are gone forever, unlike the Photos that you can pick up if accidentally deleted by restoring their from the album "recently deleted".
