NAME
TableDataRole::Util::Random - Provide utility methods related to getting random rows
VERSION
This document describes version 0.008 of TableDataRole::Util::Random (from Perl distribution TableDataRoles-Standard), released on 2021-04-13.
DESCRIPTION
This role provides some utility methods related to getting random rows from the table. Note that the methods perform a full, one-time, scan of the table using get_row_arrayref or get_row_hashref. For huge table, this might not be a good idea. Seekable table can use the more efficient TableDataRole::Util::Random::Seekable.
PROVIDED METHODS
get_rand_row_arrayref
Usage:
my $aryref = $table->get_rand_row_arrayref;Get a single random row from the table. If table is empty, will return undef.
get_rand_rows_arrayref
Usage:
my $aoa = $table->get_rand_rows_arrayref($n);Get $n random rows from the table. No duplicate rows. If table contains less than $n rows, only that many rows will be returned.
get_rand_row_hashref
Usage:
my $hashref = $table->get_rand_row_hashref;Get a single random row from the table. If table is empty, will return undef.
get_rand_rows_hashref
Usage:
my $aoh = $table->get_rand_rows_hashre($n);Get $n random rows from the table. No duplicate rows. If table contains less than $n rows, only that many rows will be returned.
