Hello Friends,

I am using below query to get the random records but in some cases the questions been repeating.

SELECT top 1 table.* FROM myTable table WHERE table.active = 1 and table.isExclusive = 0 and table.AutoID < @questionID AND table.AnswerType = 0 order by NEWID()

Thanks&Regards

0	Hello Rajni, This is also not working, it is giving only one record. "Only one record is displaying." Thanks, iluvdotnetfunda Iluvdotnetfunda, if this helps please login to Mark As Answer. \| Alert Moderator
