How to get records randomly from the oracle database?

I need to select rows randomly from an Oracle DB.

Ex: Assume a table with 100 rows, how I can randomly return 20 of those records from the entire 100 rows.

SELECT *
FROM   (
    SELECT *
    FROM   table
    ORDER BY DBMS_RANDOM.RANDOM)
WHERE  rownum < 21;

SAMPLE() is not guaranteed to give you exactly 20 rows, but might be suitable (and may perform significantly better than a full query + sort-by-random for large tables):

SELECT *
FROM   table SAMPLE(20);

Note: the 20 here is an approximate percentage, not the number of rows desired. In this case, since you have 100 rows, to get approximately 20 rows you ask for a 20% sample.
