Why not just do:

  SELECT * FROM mytab

If you're trying to do more complicated things, DISTINCT ON may be more
useful.

Well you guys are right; the problem is that the query is actually more complex, I tried to simplify it for the question, but ended up with a trivial question...
Let's see if this example is better:

CREATE TABLE mytab
(
    num integer,
    num1 integer,
    num2 integer,
    mydate timestamp
);


select MAX(num), SUM(num1)+SUM(num2), date_trunc('day', mydate) from mytab group by date_trunc('day', mydate)

but I also want the timestamp where MAX(num) happened for each day.
