First get a count of the records created that day. Integer size = Database.getCountQuery ('select count () from Opportunity where CreatedDate = TODAY'); Then use OFFSET to get your random record.

You could try something like this.
  1. Add a Sequence Column starting from 0.
  2. Use Math. random() - which will return a decimal ranging between 0 to 1. multiply that by 100 r 1000 to get integer.
  3. use SOQL to fetch that row SELECT Bar__c, Bar_Seq_Col_c from Foo_c where Bar_Seq_Col__c = :Math.random() * 10.

What is mockaroo in Salesforce?

Mockaroo. Mockaroo isn’t a tool developed for the Salesforce ecosystem, but a tool designed for anyone to generate fake, but realistic data, in mass.

How many types of data does mockaroo have?

In fact, Mockaroo has over 143 types of data. This ranges from standard fields such as First Name, Company, Email, to some pretty fun data types such as Car Make, Movie Title, or even Bitcoin Address. So if you have a custom object you are trying to generate some random data for, this is perfect.

Related Information: Variations of Deletion behavior

If a child record (like a Contact or Opportunity) is deleted and the parent record is subsequently deleted (Like the Account), the child record is permanently deleted. Even if the parent record is undeleted, the child record cannot be recovered, but if the child record is undeleted first this won't happen.

Generating Opportunity Data

  • Generating Opportunity data is also very straight forward, but you get to have a bit of fun with the custom field types.
