Assuming that film_id is the primary key on film and category_id is the
primary key on category, I think you'd be allowed to have the other column
references in SQL03 (and 99?) but not in SQL92 (which is the version that
PostgreSQL currently implements).
IIRC, the later specs allow you to not mention columns in group by that
are functionally dependant on other columns that are mentioned.
