Hierarchical Queries

Hi community,

I need to write an SQL query with hierarchical order, I have a table with a column referencing itself, similar as the sample bellow:

0 4
0 218

Hi community,

I need to write an SQL query to fetch a random record from a table, that table has millions of data.

In postgresql, for example, there is a RANDOM() function to do something like that:

SELECT column FROM table
ORDER BY RANDOM()
LIMIT 1

Is it possible to do something like that in Caché?

Thanks in advance
