Group By Error Text - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hi

with the following query:

select jobno, count(jobno) from drawing_register;

I get the following error:

ERROR:  Attribute drawing_register.jobno must be GROUPed or used in an
aggregate function

Is this correct? Getting rid of the error is easy:

select jobno, count(jobno) from drawing_register group by jobno;

I believe that jobno is being used in an aggregate function. Should a
change be made to the error text?

Regards
