MySQL: Random select with specific count of a column

["Torsten Roehr" <roehr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I've got the following table:

category    language    name
1           de          a
1           de          b
1           de          c
2           de          a
2           de          b
2           de          c
3           de          a
3           de          b
3           de          c
...
1           en          a
1           en          b
1           en          c

I would like to select 6 random rows where the language is 'de' AND make
sure that I will always have 2 rows of EACH category in my result set:
1           de          b
1           de          c
2           de          a
2           de          c
3           de          a
3           de          b

Any help greatly appreciated.


Thanks and best regards,

Torsten Roehr
