Your example code will start to behave inaccurately once records are deleted (it will unfairly favor items with lower ids)

You're probably better off using the random methods within your database. These vary depending on which DB you're using, but :order => "RAND()" works for mysql and :order => "RANDOM()" works for postgres

It doesn't have to be that hard.

<pre><code>ids = Model.pluck(:id)
random_model = Model.find(ids.sample)
</code></pre>

<code>pluck</code> returns an array of all the id's in the table. The <code>sample</code> method on the array, returns a random id from the array.

This should perform well, with equal probability of selection and support for tables with deleted rows. You can even mix it with constraints.

<pre><code>User.where(favorite_day: "Friday").pluck(:id)
</code></pre>

And thereby pick a random user who likes fridays rather than just any user.

If you're using PostgreSQL 9.5+, you can take advantage of <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/sql-select.html#SQL-FROM" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>TABLESAMPLE</code></a> to select a random record.

The two default sampling methods (<code>SYSTEM</code> and <code>BERNOULLI</code>) require that you specify the number of rows to return as a percentage of the total number of rows in the table.

<pre><code>-- Fetch 10% of the rows in the customers table.
SELECT * FROM customers TABLESAMPLE BERNOULLI(10);
</code></pre>

This requires knowing the amount of records in the table to select the appropriate percentage, which may not be easy to find quickly. Fortunately, there is the <a href="https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.5/static/tsm-system-rows.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><code>tsm_system_rows</code> module</a> that allows you to specify the number of rows to return directly.

<pre><code>CREATE EXTENSION tsm_system_rows;

-- Fetch a single row from the customers table.
SELECT * FROM customers TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM_ROWS(1);
</code></pre>

To use this within ActiveRecord, first enable the extension within a migration:

<pre><code>class EnableTsmSystemRowsExtension &lt; ActiveRecord::Migration[5.0]
 def change
 enable_extension "tsm_system_rows"
 end
end
</code></pre>

Then modify the <code>from</code> clause of the query:

<pre><code>customer = Customer.from("customers TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM_ROWS(1)").first
</code></pre>

I don't know if the <code>SYSTEM_ROWS</code> sampling method will be entirely random or if it just returns the first row from a random page.

Most of this information was taken from a <a href="http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/tablesample-and-other-methods-for-getting-random-tuples/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">2ndQuadrant blog post written by Gulcin Yildirim</a>.

After seeing so many answers I decided to benchmark them all on my PostgreSQL(9.6.3) database. I use a smaller 100,000 table and got rid of the Model.order("RANDOM()").first since it was already two orders of magnitude slower.

Using a table with 2,500,000 entries with 10 columns the hands down winner was the pluck method being almost 8 times faster than the runner up(offset. I only ran this on a local server so that number might be inflated but its bigger enough that the pluck method is what I'll end up using. It's also worth noting that this might cause issues is you pluck more than 1 result at a time since each one of those will be unique aka less random.

Pluck wins running 100 time on my 25,000,000 row table
Edit: actually this time includes the pluck in the loop if I take it out it it runs about as fast as simple iteration on the id. However; it does take up a fair amount of RAM.

<pre><code>RandomModel user system total real
Model.find_by(id: i) 0.050000 0.010000 0.060000 ( 0.059878)

You can use the <code>Array</code> method <code>sample</code>, the method <code>sample</code> returns a random object from an array, in order to use it you just need to exec in a simple <code>ActiveRecord</code> query that return a collection, for example:

<pre><code>User.all.sample
</code></pre>

will return something like this:

<pre><code>#&lt;User id: 25, name: "John Doe", email: "admin@example.info", created_at: "2018-04-16 19:31:12", updated_at: "2018-04-16 19:31:12"&gt;

<code>.order('RANDOM()').limit(limit)</code> looks neat but is slow for large tables because it needs to fetch and sort all rows even if <code>limit</code> is 1 (internally in database but not in Rails). I'm not sure about MySQL but this happens in Postgres. More explanation in <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5297396/quick-random-row-selection-in-postgres">here</a> and <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8674718/best-way-to-select-random-rows-postgresql/8674844#8674844">here</a>.

One solution for large tables is <code>.from("products TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM(0.5)")</code> where <code>0.5</code> means <code>0.5%</code>. However, I find this solution is still slow if you have <code>WHERE</code> conditions that filter out a lot of rows. I guess it's because <code>TABLESAMPLE SYSTEM(0.5)</code> fetch all rows before <code>WHERE</code> conditions apply.

Another solution for large tables (but not very random) is:

<pre><code>products_scope.limit(sample_size).sample(limit)
</code></pre>

where <code>sample_size</code> can be <code>100</code> (but not too large otherwise it's slow and consumes a lot of memory), and <code>limit</code> can be <code>1</code>. Note that although this is fast but it's not really random, it's random within <code>sample_size</code> records only.

PS: Benchmark results in answers above are not reliable (at least in Postgres) because some DB queries running at 2nd time can be significantly faster than running at 1st time, thanks to DB cache. And unfortunately there is no easy way to disable cache in Postgres to make these benchmarks reliable.

Very old question but with :

<pre><code>rand_record = Model.all.shuffle
</code></pre>

You got an Array of record, sort by random order.
No need gems or scripts.

If you want one record :

<pre><code>rand_record = Model.all.shuffle.first
</code></pre>

blocks|key|1262482|text|除了使用RANDOM()之外，您还可以将以下代码放入作用域：|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|offset|length|style|CODE|entityRanges|data|1262483|class+Thing
++scope+:random,+->+(limit+=+1)+{
++++order('RANDOM()').
++++limit(limit)
++}
end|code-block|syntax|javascript|1262484|或者，如果你不想把它作为一个作用域，那就把它放到一个类方法中。现在，Thing.random与Thing.random(n)一起工作。|1262485|entityMap^0|4|8|0|0|Y|C|1B|F|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|O|8|@$9|P|A|Q|B|C]]|D|@]|E|$]]|$1|F|3|G|5|H|7|R|8|@]|D|@]|E|$I|J]]|$1|K|3|L|5|6|7|S|8|@$9|T|A|U|B|C]|$9|V|A|W|B|C]]|D|@]|E|$]]|$1|M|3|-4|5|6|7|X|8|@]|D|@]|E|$]]]|N|$]]

Along with using <code>RANDOM()</code>, you can also throw this into a scope:

<pre><code>class Thing
 scope :random, -&gt; (limit = 1) {
 order('RANDOM()').
 limit(limit)
 }
end
</code></pre>

Or, if you don't fancy that as a scope, just throw it into a class method. Now <code>Thing.random</code> works along with <code>Thing.random(n)</code>.

blocks|key|1262499|text|您可以获取所有ids的数组，然后使用sample方法返回随机元素。|type|unstyled|depth|inlineStyleRanges|entityRanges|offset|length|data|1262500|Model.ids.sample|code-block|syntax|javascript|1262501|entityMap|0|LINK|mutability|MUTABLE|url|https://apidock.com/rails/Array/sample^0|I|6|0|0|0^^$0|@$1|2|3|4|5|6|7|Q|8|@]|9|@$A|R|B|S|1|T]]|C|$]]|$1|D|3|E|5|F|7|U|8|@]|9|@]|C|$G|H]]|$1|I|3|-4|5|6|7|V|8|@]|9|@]|C|$]]]|J|$K|$5|L|M|N|C|$O|P]]]]

I'm in need of getting a random record from a table via ActiveRecord. I've followed the example from <a href="http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/2006/10/7/helping-activerecord-finders-help-you" rel="noreferrer">Jamis Buck from 2006</a>.

However, I've also come across another way via a Google search (can't attribute with a link due to new user restrictions):

<pre><code> rand_id = rand(Model.count)
 rand_record = Model.first(:conditions =&gt; ["id &gt;= ?", rand_id])
</code></pre>

I'm curious how others on here have done it or if anyone knows what way would be more efficient.
