How to get two random records with Django

Question

How do I get two distinct random records using Django? I've seen questions about how to get one but I need to get two random records and they must differ.

Answer 1

Object.objects.order_by('?')[:2]

This would return two random-ordered records. You can add

distinct()

if there are records with the same value in your dataset.

Answer 2

If you specify the random operator in the ORM I'm pretty sure it will give you two distinct random results won't it?

MyModel.objects.order_by('?')[:2] # 2 random results.
