Thank you Adrian, but -


if I remove GROUP BY mid, then I get the error:

ERROR:  42803: column "words_moves.mid" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 18:         mid,
                  ^
LOCATION:  check_ungrouped_columns_walker, parse_agg.c:1369

Yes because it is a case of opposing forces. When you remove mid from the GROUP BY you get an single row for each group that has an aggregated output where you can have count of > 1. In that case the database has more then one choice for the mid to display and so it throws the error.

To go forward it would help to know what it is you are trying to achieve?
