In particular, I'm not clear why Postgres isn't complaining about the f1 and f2 fields. (It's not giving the "must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function" error that I would expect, and that I am getting when I try to apply this to my real query.)Can anyone explain to me why those fields don't need to be grouped? Thanks.
