Perhaps the remainder could give you the result you needed.  It is called a
modulo in SQL.  If the remainder of the identity divided by 10 is less than
5, then use the record for the second process.

Assume a large SQL Server database where actions by many employees can be
captured. Assume you only want to capture (ie write to the datasbase) 60% of
the events. Of course you don't know the total number of events that will
occur during the day so the best thing to do is write the first 6 of every
ten. I've not used SQL server so I'm not sure the proper way to count the
hits (candidate records) and write six and discard four. What is the
efficient way to do this in SQL server? TIA
