Simplifying MySql queries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi all,
I'm using in my PHP script the following four MySql queries:
$q1=mysql_query("SELECT     *    FROM    `CandidateQuestions`    WHERE
`Category`='1' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$q2=mysql_query("SELECT     *    FROM    `CandidateQuestions`    WHERE
`Category`='2' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$q3=mysql_query("SELECT     *    FROM    `CandidateQuestions`    WHERE
`Category`='3' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");
$q4=mysql_query("SELECT     *    FROM    `CandidateQuestions`    WHERE
`Category`='4' ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 1");

and  here  goes the question: is there a way to make these four in one
so  strictly  one  random  question  is  selected from all of the four
categories?
Thanks!
