SQL Question

I had a requirement in SQL today that I could not find an elegant solution
to.



Given file A that has a 10 Char key (KEYA)



Given file B that has a foreign key relation to file A that is not null
(FKEYB)



Say File A has 6 records



For all six record in file A return x number of rows from file B where the
key relationship matches (preferably random not an absolute requirement).



I couldn't do this with one statement and ended up running several to get
the result I wanted.



I must be missing something obvious but what!!!
