Обсуждение: Who knows this SELECT in PostgreSQL

Dear gurus, I'm sure someone knows immediately how to translate this
mysql to postgresql:

SELECT GROUP_CONCAT(dbmail_messageblks.messageblk
ORDER BY dbmail_messageblks.is_header DESC SEPARATOR '')
FROM dbmail_messages
JOIN dbmail_messageblks ON
(dbmail_messages.physmessage_id=dbmail_messageblks.physmessage_id)
WHERE dbmail_messages.message_idnr='${MSG_UID}'
GROUP BY dbmail_messages.message_idnr"

It should simply return the whole message which can be truncated to
pieces into dbmail_messageblks and return it as a single entity. I found
this for mysql and would like to rewrite the shell script to postgresql,
but am stuck at this select.

CREATE AGGREGATE public.array_agg(ANYELEMENT) (
    SFUNC = ARRAY_APPEND,
    STYPE = ANYARRAY,
    INITCOND = '{}'
);



SELECT
    ARRAY_TO_STRING(public.ARRAY_AGG(b.messageblk),'') AS the_message
FROM
    dbmail_messages AS m
JOIN
    dbmail_messageblks AS b
ON
    (m.physmessage_id = b.physmessage_id)
WHERE
    m.message_idnr = '${MSG_UID}'
GROUP BY
    m.message_idnr;






If you can wait for or want to test version 8.4 (which is in Beta
right now and would be released relatively soon) you can skip the
creation of the aggregate.

Wow, very cryptic. Would never have found that, thanks a lot!

Need it now, but good to know 8.4 helps here :-)
