suppose I've got two table:

laser_uni=# \d t1
     Table "public.t1"
 Column | Type | Modifiers
--------+------+-----------
 name   | text |
 addr   | text |

laser_uni=# \d t2
      Table "public.t2"
 Column |  Type   | Modifiers
--------+---------+-----------
 name   | text    |
 len    | integer |
 of     | integer |

and I want to use join to select out data and then group by one column,
like this:

laser_uni=# select t1.name, t1.addr, t2.name, t2.len, t2.of from t1
right join t2 on t1.name=t2.name group by t2.name;
ERROR:  Attribute t1.name must be GROUPed or used in an aggregate function

seems the I must gorup all those fields:

laser_uni=# select t1.name as t1name, t1.addr as t1addr, t2.name as
t2name, t2.len, t2.of from t1 right join t2 on t1.name=t2.name group by
t1.name, t1.addr, t2.name, t2.len, t2.of;
 t1name | t1addr | t2name | len | of
--------+--------+--------+-----+----
        |        | henry  |   2 |  4
        |        | laser  |   4 |  4
(2 rows)

is it specification compliant or postgresql specific?

Thanks

Laser
