Random row from Linq to Sql

Question

What is the best (and fastest) way to retrieve a random row using Linq to SQL when I have a condition, e.g. some field must be true?

Answer 1

If you use LINQPad, switch to C# program mode and do this way:

void Main()
{
    YourTable.OrderBy(v => Random()).FirstOrDefault.Dump();
}

[Function(Name = "NEWID", IsComposable = true)]
public Guid Random()
{
    throw new NotImplementedException();
}
