Description

Is there a way to get a random record and/or order a query randomly, like an equivalent to Django .order_by('?') or to SQLalchemy .order_by(func.rand()) for MySQL?

Try this:

from sqlalchemy import func

task = session.exec(select(Tasks).order_by(func.random())).first()

I ended up here looking at how to find the last record. Docs and issues don't have info on this. Thanks for the direction.

Using the code from this issue finding the last record (based on the primary key), you just have to sort the results in descending order with sqlalchemy imports and return first as well:

from sqlalchemy import asc, desc

task = session.exec(select(Tasks).order_by(desc(Tasks.id)).first()
