Re: [HACKERS] Views on aggregates - need assistence

Thank you for addressing this issue!  It has been bugging me for a
while.  Usually I just select into a new table and select from that
(but yes, it is multiple queries).  Normally I want to do something
like:

select bar,count(a.oid) as c from a,b where a.ab = b.bar and c > 1;

This actually seems to be a different issue with more complicated
unresolvable (?) problems, because you want a pre-result (per
combination of instances matched) where and a result where (per result
tuple)..  Is this possible to do using subqueries?  I'll try to find out.	

This might be totally unrelated, actually.  I do not know enough about
view system to understand unresolvable conflicts.
