I didn't run it yet, the idea of using min(col1) = max(col1) was all I
needed.
I assumed it was incorrect because I thought
referring to an ungrouped column in a group by was incorrect, because the
ungrouped col would represent a set, and not a value...

I just ran this:

select c2 from
(select 1 as c1, 1 as c2
 union
 select 1 as c1, 2 as c2
 union
 select 1 as c1, 3 as c2)
 group by c1

and it returns 3.

I think this is incorrect behaviour and should not compile because
the result of c2 is clearly {1, 2, 3}...or am I wrong about this?
Is this standard SQL languages behaviour?
