I have 2 tables:

a. phrases

b. answers

 

I left join the two tables, and I would like to select all the phrases with the least amount of answers, and from those answers select a random phrase...

 

So, I have this:

SELECT *, COUNT(a.answer) as total FROM `phrases` p LEFT JOIN `answers` a ON(p.id = a.phrase) GROUP BY a.answer ORDER BY total

 

The problem is that it shows everything, I just want the lowest totals, then select one random item from those. How can I do that?
