I'm trying to craft SQL to invoke a sequence nextval once per grouped value.


This seems like a very unusual usage of nextval/sequences...

with cleanup as (
  select DISTINCT e.ma, coalesce(e.pa, 'fix') as pa from ...
), compute as (
  select ma, pa, nextval(...) from cleanup
)
select * from compute ... -- do whatever else you want

So far I have this:

with husb as(
select e.ma, count(distinct coalesce(e.pa, nextval('egogen')::text)) as mates
from emp_all_by3 e group by e.ma order by mates
)
select mates, count(*)
from husb
group by mates order by mates desc;
Your "order by mates" in the CTE is totally pointless and wasting resources.

Yeah, it wasn't when that was the last bit executed...

Seems asking a sequence for an id isn't too unusual?  Or are they specifically intended for primary keys?
