Hi Alan:

    Just wondering if you ever came to a resolution to your question below.  
I'm curious to hear how you solved this issue.

Subject: Random subset of records.


Let's say I have a table, and there are a number of candidate records
that I could potentially include in a particular process, then flag them
as processed so they do not get included again. 

However, due to constraints I can only take a subset of those candidate
records at a time.

Using a SQL-Select, how would I retrieve a random subset of the records?
