Question

I have 3 table .a,b,c .The Name whose datatype is varchar .I need a query that will get one row from each table and give me a another table namely ‘d’.This d will have 3 rows for eg. a1 above b3 above c2 ..these values in table d are random every time I run this query ..

Table a   Table b   Table c
 Name      Name       Name
 a1        b1         c1
 a2        b2         c2 
 a3        b3         c3

when i run the query I need a table ‘d’ with random

Table d    Table d
 Name       Name
 a2         b1
 b3         a3
 c1         c3

and there is no relation between these tables !
