You can not have have expressions (columns etc.) in the SELECT list that are
either not in a GROUP BY clause, or used in an aggregate function when you
use GROUP BY in the statement. By saying SELECT *, means you would have to
GROUP BY gc, co, data, ora ...
That isn't going to do what he wants. And the SQL you stated should give you
an error:
ERROR: column "temp50.co" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an
aggregate function
What he wants to do is use DISTINCT ON:
SELECT DISTINCT ON (gc) gc, co, data, ora FROM temp50 ORDER BY gc, ora DESC;
