Re: 7.0 weirdness

Hi Jeff!

I think you need a solution, and not explains...
Tom, and the others told the truth. You missed this query.

> gid is unique.. it's a serial..
I give you two ways:

1) gid __realy__ unique  ->  DISTINCT is unnecessary.
 SELECT gid FROM members -- ... etc 

2) gid not unique  ->  DISTINCT is not enough. ;(
 SELECT gid,MAX(created) -- or MIN or AVG ... any aggregate
	FROM members -- ... etc
 GROUP BY gid ORDER BY 2; -- second colunm
