在我的MySQL数据库中，我有一个表格，其中包含不同类别的不同问题。
我想编写一个返回EACH类别的3个RANDOM问题的SQL语句。
以下是数据库记录的示例：
id question category
1 Question A 1
2 Question B 1
3 Question C 1
4 Question D 1
5 Question D 1
6 Question F 2
7 Question G 2
8 Question H 2
9 Question I 2
10 Question J 2
11 Question K 3
12 Question L 3
13 Question M 3
14 Question N 3
15 Question O 3
16 Question P 3
以下是从上面列表中的每个类别的所有问题中选择并随机播放3个随机的输出/结果：
2 Question B 1
4 Question D 1
3 Question C 1
10 Question J 2
7 Question G 2
9 Question I 2
11 Question K 3
15 Question P 3
13 Question M 3
到目前为止，我已使用以下语句进行测试：
SELECT * FROM `random` ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,3;
这只返回所有类别的3个RANDOM问题。
之后我在此链接中查找了示例： MYSQL select random of each of the categories
尝试了这个：
(SELECT * FROM `random` WHERE category = 1 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3)
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM `random` WHERE category = 2 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3)
UNION ALL
(SELECT * FROM `random` WHERE category = 3 ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 3)
但在这里我需要手动添加每个类别。
我的问题：我很奇怪是否可以从所有类别的每个类别（自动）中获取3个RANDOM记录/行？
编辑
这不是问题的一部分，而是帮助。
虚拟数据创建者
查询代码将调用random表并创建一个名为create_random的存储过程，当您运行存储过程时，它将在随机表中创建随机虚拟数据：
DELIMITER $$
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS `random`;
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS `create_random` $$
CREATE TABLE `random` (
`id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
`question` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
`category` VARCHAR(50) NULL DEFAULT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`id`)
)
COLLATE='latin1_swedish_ci'
ENGINE=InnoDB
AUTO_INCREMENT=401
;
CREATE DEFINER=`root`@`localhost`
PROCEDURE `create_random`()
LANGUAGE SQL
NOT DETERMINISTIC
CONTAINS SQL
SQL SECURITY DEFINER
COMMENT ''
BEGIN
DECLARE v_max int unsigned DEFAULT 100;
DECLARE v_counter int unsigned DEFAULT 0;
DECLARE cat_counter int unsigned DEFAULT 0;
TRUNCATE TABLE `random`;
START TRANSACTION;
WHILE v_counter < v_max DO
IF v_counter %10=0 THEN SET cat_counter=cat_counter+1;
END IF;
INSERT INTO `random` (question, category) VALUES ( CONCAT('Question', FLOOR(0 + (RAND() * 65535))), cat_counter );
SET v_counter=v_counter+1;
END WHILE;
COMMIT;
END
注意：我尝试了所有答案，一切正常。 Gordon Linoff和pjanaway回答选择RANDOM只有前3或下3问题，我已经检查了Gordon的答案，因为他先回答，但这并不意味着其他答案都不好，所有这些都很好，这取决于用户选择正确答案或答案组合。我喜欢所有答案并将其投票。德鲁皮尔斯对这个问题的回答很新，现在更有趣，几乎接近目标。谢谢大家。
答案 0 :(得分：5)
除了另一个答案，这也是另一种方法。
j答案 1 :(得分：4)
是的，您可以通过枚举行然后获取前三个来完成此操作：
select r.id, r.question, r.category
from (select r.*,
(@rn := if(@c = category, @rn + 1,
if(@c := category, 1, 1)
)
) as seqnum
from `random` r cross join
(select @rn := 0, @c := -1) params
order by category, rand()
) r
where seqnum <= 3;
答案 2 :(得分：1)
create schema so_gibberish; -- creates database
use so_gibberish; -- use it
-- drop table random; -- during debug
create table random
( id int auto_increment primary key,
question varchar(50) not null,
category int not null,
randomOrder int not null,
key (category)
);
-- drop table questions_for_user; -- during debug
create table questions_for_user
( physcOrder int auto_increment primary key,
id int not null,
question varchar(50) not null,
category int not null,
randomOrder int not null,
key (category)
);
创建存储过程以插入随机问题。当你打电话时，它会一次创建300个。
DELIMITER $$
drop procedure if exists createRandomQuestions$$
-- 17 categories of questions randomly created. yes random word questions and categories.
create procedure createRandomQuestions()
BEGIN
set @i=1;
WHILE @i<=300 DO
insert random (question,category) values ('xxx',1);
SELECT @lid:=LAST_INSERT_ID(); -- use id to seed, next 8 guaranteed different i think
UPDATE random SET question=concat(
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@lid)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@seed)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@seed)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@seed)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@seed)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@seed)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed:=round(rand(@seed)*4294967296))*36+1, 1),
substring('ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789', rand(@seed)*36+1, 1), ' ?'
), category=floor(rand()*17+1),randomOrder=0
WHERE id=@lid;
set @i=@i+1;
END WHILE;
END;
$$
DELIMITER ;
称之为：
call createRandomQuestions();
检查：
select category,count(*) from random group by category order by category;
select count(*) from random;
select * from random limit 10;
现在，根据请求为用户提供每个类别的三个随机问题。
提出一个好的随机SEEDING算法。以下是存根，最好使用http等服务等外部源。
update random set randomOrder=rand()*unix_timestamp();
truncate table questions_for_user;
insert into questions_for_user (id,question,category,randomOrder)
select id,question,category,randomOrder from random order by rand();
select r.*
FROM questions_for_user r
WHERE
( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM random r1 WHERE r.category = r1.category AND r.id < r1.id ) <= 2
ORDER by r.category ASC, randomOrder;

其他答案似乎返回相同问题（前3或后3）imo的原因是因为表的物理排序，这就是我创建第2个表的原因。第二个表使用新的虚假物理排序，并且插入到它中是通过随机顺序（因此物理顺序问题不存在）。希望这是有道理的。
当然，我挖走了pjanaway的答案，虽然我喜欢他的变量方法，却无法让Gordon在我的系统上工作。
祝你好运。
