This is what HAVING is for (unimplemented, yet).

No, if you really want to see count in output. If you would be happy
with bar only then this could help:
select bar from b where 1 < (select count(*) from a where a.ab = b.bar);
(Having HAVING would be better, of 'course :)

You could CREATE VIEW V as select bar,count(a.oid) as c from a,b
where a.ab = b.bar group by bar;
and then just select * from v where c > 1.
