Hi everyone-
I'd like to display two random records on the side of my page as a way
of having some dynamic content. Each will consist of an image and also
some text to be used in a mouseover tooltip.
Is it advisable to use FMFindAny twice (two separate queries to the
database) in order to get two randomly returned sets?
I imagine that this method could theoretically return the same record
twice... but with 100 or so records in the database, it seems rather
unlikely... but I imagine it is still possible.
Does anyone have any experience with this or any advice?
