Hello list,

i still need a solution for my 3 table join rand problem, im using version
4.1 now so subqueries are possible:

explanation:

i have 3 tables lets say:

fruits:

id,   name
1    banana
2    apple
3    strawberry

fruits_animals

id,   id_fruits,   id_animals
1    1               2
2    1               3
3    3               1
4    2               4

animals

id,   name
1    cat
2   dog
3   mouse
4   elephant


My problem is that if i join the tables and order them by rand i always get
one result something like:
strawberry, cat (fruit id = 3, animal id = 1 )
or
banana, dog (fruit id = 1, animal id = 2)
but never
banana, mouse( fruit id = 1, animal id = 3 )

and need to select 100 different relations without redundancies hows that
possible ?

regards sebastian gerske
