field1, field2, and name are the grouping columns.

You don't need an aggregate in a GROUP BY query.  A SELECT ... GROUP
BY without any aggregate behaves like SELECT DISTINCT.  There's
nothing wrong with it.  Performance might be a different story.

BTW, Franco's problem has been recognised as a bug and a patch has
already been published (cf. Tom Lane's mail in this thread).
