Review comment:
       this `return` doesn't look right to me - it may work correctly if you 
around only selecting the aggregate - but what happens if you have more?
   I believe you should execute `oneRow.add(null)` ; bail out the rest of this 
conditional - and let the code continue with the remaining aggregates if there 
is any
