Thanks everyone for your help.

I am working on the below technique....

Make a random permutation of the integers [1..number of records]. Walk the DB with mdb_cursor_get:MDB_<FIRST/NEXT>, associate each record with an ID from the permutation. Or something like that.

Whoops, I meant provided the other data is also in named
database(s). Database names are inserted as keys in the
database with name=NULL, which is why NULL database and
named database should not be mixed.
