Hi,
accidentally found a our sql typo, which runs without errors on pg 9.1, but raises error on 9.0. It seems to me, that 9.0 behaviour was correct.
Reproducing case:
create table aaa(id integer NOT NULL, something double precision, constraint pk_aaa primary key (id));
insert into aaa values (1, 1), (2, null);
select
id,
case
when something is not null then 'something'
else 'something is null'
end as status
from
aaa
group by id;
drop table aaa cascade;
In PG 9.0 this script complains that: column "aaa.something" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function. Sorry, don't have 9.0 at my hands, but error message is similar to quoted.
Same error is raised in 9.1 when ', constraint pk_aaa primary key (id)' is commented out.
With PK constraint in place, this script runs happily, without complaints.
Version with observerd behaviour: "PostgreSQL 9.1.1, compiled by Visual C++ build 1500, 32-bit"
Best regards,
Grazvydas
