DEPRECATION WARNING: Dangerous query method: Random Record in ActiveRecord >= 5.2

Question

So far, the \"common\" way to get a random record from the Database has been:

# Postgress
Model.order(\"RANDOM()\").first 

# MySQL
Model.order(\"RAND()\").f         


        

Answer 1

I'm a fan of this solution:

Model.offset(rand(Model.count)).first
