I am trying to make a app that generates a random username. I have a simple table with just an ID and a name column. Basically:
| id | name | |-|-| | 1 | dude | | 2 | chill| etc
I want to select 3 random values from there. This is my attempt:
SELECT COUNT(id) INTO @count -- gets the length
FROM username_generator;
SELECT name FROM username_generator -- selects 3 names with random IDs
WHERE id IN (
(FLOOR(RAND() * @COUNT)+1),
(FLOOR(RAND() * @COUNT)+1),
(FLOOR(RAND() * @COUNT)+1)
);
The idea is that it counts the length and selects 3 IDs inside the length range.
The problem is that this sometimes returns NOTHING and I can't figure out why. The random numbers are always in the range and I have names in the table. Eg:
Normal:
Not normal:
