Hi all,
I am stuck with a small problem. The problem is something like this. I have a column question number in a database table. I need to dynamically/randomly select the quesiton number and select the corresponding question which is a varchar column of the same table. Can anyone help me in doing it ? Thanks in advance .

You will probably find what you want in these 2 links. Based on the number of questions you have, you generate a random integer within that range e.g. 1-17
