Re: Cant group by non integer - ms access - odbc

Hi Ludwig
Seems I've actually asked the wrong q...
My query was something like

"SELECT f1,f2,count(f3) as countOff3, sum(f4) as countoff4,f5,"-" as f6
FROM mytable
GROUP BY f1,f2,f5,"-""

Once I took out everything to do with f6, then it worked - however I
need f6, as this forms a select to be inserted into another table. So
now my question should be what is the postgres equivalent to this?
Thanks
Glenn
