Dear list,
Suppose a table with articles that persons have ordered:

  create table t (pers_id int(6), odate date, art_id int(8))  

I want to select one randomly choosen odate for every pers_id.
I can easily select the minimum or the maximum odate:

  select pers_id, min(odate) from t group by pers_id

What would like is something like:

  select pers_id, random_select(odate) from t group by pers_id

Does anyone know how to do this?

Cheers, Paul
