Using "Order by random()"

[Casanova Grégory]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the random function of Sqlite and I'm facing some problem. Is the random function supported in the plugin ? I'm using it like this :

SELECT * FROM products ORDER BY RANDOM()

In an editor like "DB Browser for SQLite" it works, but not using the plugin...

I get the following error :
"code: 5, message: "could not prepare statement (1 not authorized to use function: random)"

Any reason ?
Thank's a lot !

Are you using Web SQL? I found the following: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/30036628/could-not-prepare-statement-1-not-authorized-to-use-function-random

I was using it on Google Chrome so I assume that I was using web SQL.
Will it work on a device ?

This is an enhancement for future consideration and will need some additional testing. Here are some resources:
