What about the HAVING clause? Currently not in, but someone here wants to take a stab at it. Doesn't seem that tough...loops over the tuples returned from the group by node and checks the expression such as "x > 5" or "x = (subselect)". The cost analysis in the optimizer could be tricky come to think of it. If a subselect has a HAVING, would have to have a formula to determine the selectiveness. Hmmm... darrenk
