I'm dealing with a specific example in mind in the new Google Ads API whereby if I include a filter on segments.device in the WHERE clause of the query, I'm also required to add it to the SELECT clause. In the AdWords API we were able to add predicates in order to filter data without affecting the aggregation process. Adding a segment to the SELECT clause causes the resultant data to be broken down by that segment. This is undesirable, as it breaks the ability to filter prior to aggregation.
As an example, supposing I wanted to see all ad performance metrics aggregated by ad id, but only including those of devices (A and B). Forcing the inclusion of the segmentation in the SELECT clause means I'll be aggregating by both ad id AND device, meaning multiple line items per id (if more than 1 device applies). Can anyone confirm this behavior and help rationalize it for me? Perhaps this is something that's going to change in the near future. I'd at least like to express my concern here though if I'm correct about the situation.
