Hi all,
does anyone have a clue what this diagnostic from psql (v 7.0) means:
ERROR: aggregate function in qual must be argument of boolean operator
I got it from this query:
SELECT *
FROM last_payment NATURAL INNER JOIN admin_info
WHERE date_part ('month', age(last_payment.date, timestamp 'now')) >= 3 AND balance > 0;
last_payment is a view of a natural join of 3 tables with an aggregation:
CREATE VIEW last_payment(ssn, cust_name, cust_addr, balance, date) AS
SELECT customer.ssn, cust_name, cust_addr, balance, MAX(date)
FROM customer, journal, payment_info
WHERE customer.ssn = journal.ssn AND journal.entry_num = payment_info.entry_num
GROUP BY customer.ssn, cust_name, cust_addr, balance;
oh, btw this select refused to use an SQL natural join among the 3 relations -
the server gives up and disconnects without warning.
admin_info is a normal table.
the idea being to get tuples timestamped 3 or more months ago. I get the
impression both 'age' and 'date_part' functions are causing the problem - just a
date comparison without them works fine.
thanks for any ideas
cheers
