by the way, the structure of the table is as follows: id (auto-increment) name (varchar: 50) type (enum: 'A','L','P')

I've got a table with an ENUM column that has 3 possible options. I want to return 4 random entries for each option. I know how to get N random records, but this requires that I get 4 of each type. Is it possible to do this in one query and if so how might I do that? <!----------------//------ andy matthews web developer ICGLink, Inc.
