Is this a bug, or due to the way I am using the RANK() function in the following query? The error is triggered when I use (sum(y) / sum(x)) in the ORDER BY of the RANK() function.
Simple test case: create table t (a int, b int, x numeric, y integer ); insert into t select g,round(mod(g,4)), round((random()*1000)::NUMERIC,2),round((random()*1000)::NUMERIC) from generate_series(1, 100) as g; select a, b, (sum(y) / sum(x)) as res, rank() over (partition by a,b order by (sum(y) / sum(x)) desc) as rank --rank() over (partition by a,b order by sum(y) desc) as rank -- no error from t group by a,b; select version(); version -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PostgreSQL 9.1.1 on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, compiled by gcc (GCC) 4.4.5 20110214 (Red Hat 4.4.5-6), 64-bit Any other details needed?
