I tried this:
SELECT
typ,
ts,
rank() over w AS foo_rank
FROM
foo
WINDOW w AS (partition by typ order by ts desc)
WHERE
foo_rank < 4;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "WHERE"
LINE 8: WHERE
^
Possibly the above is not a bug, but I'm pretty sure this is:
SELECT
typ,
ts,
rank() over w AS foo_rank
FROM
foo
WINDOW w AS (partition by typ order by ts desc)
WHERE
typ < 4;
ERROR: syntax error at or near "WHERE"
LINE 8: WHERE
^

David.
