I think you may be using the wrong version of the code. The first version had a small SQL error that always resulted in nil results. the query was also not compatible with my sqlite driver for PDO For WP. So i have migrated to a simpler, more traditional form of randomisation. This does not scale well on large datasets and I may post a code (rather than sql) based optimisation in the next few days.
