junk=> select cognome, nome, via from membri where cap = '41010' group by cognome;
cognome|nome |via

This is very interesting and useful, I thought it wasn't possible. Seems that standard allows only the "order by" column(s)
and the aggregate function(s) on target list.
I tried the same query on Informix, also on Ocelot but it gives me an error.
On Informix and Ocelot
queries like:
select cognome, max(age) from membri where cap = '41010' group by cognome;
are allowed.
but
queries like:
select cognome, nome, via from membri where cap = '41010' group by cognome;
aren't allowed.
