Folks,

Robert Treat brought this up.

I create a table with something to partition by, and some meaningless
junk.  I'm trying to get a random ordering inside each window:

CREATE TABLE foo(i, t) AS
SELECT i, md5((i*generate_series(1,10))::text) /* Nonsense text */
FROM generate_series(10,1) i;

SELECT
    i,
    t,
    RANK() OVER (
        PARTITION BY i
        ORDER BY random()
    )
FROM foo;
ERROR:  ORDER/GROUP BY expression not found in targetlist

Oops.  I found this error message only in backend/optimizer/util/tlist.c
and am wondering whether there needs to be a different code path for
windowing, or...?

Any ideas?

Cheers,
David.
