I'd certainly love to see it- but let's not confuse people by implying that it would actually act the way MySQL does. It wouldn't, because what MySQL does is alot closer to 'distinct on' and is patently insane to boot. Again, I'd *love* to see this be done in PG, but when we document it and tell people about it, *please* don't say it's similar in any way to MySQL's "oh, we'll just pick a random value from the columns that aren't group'd on" implementation. > At this point, this patch could use some review and testing with unusual > queries that break my implementation. ;-) I'll give it a shot... :) Thanks!
