Yeah, we don't have it. To work around the problem I typically create a function or a view dynamically, that takes a template and forces the rollup with a UNION ALL. This technique is not generic, so each case has to be handled specially. Lack of OLAP style sql features is #2 missing feature for me in postgres (after stored procedures). merlin -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
