CREATE TEMP TABLE tempo (a int, b int, c text);
INSERT INTO tempo (a,b,c) values (1,1,'foo');
INSERT INTO tempo (a,b,c) values (1,2,'bar');
INSERT INTO tempo (a,b,c) values (1,1,'foo');
INSERT INTO tempo (a,b,c) values (1,1,'foo');
INSERT INTO tempo (a,b,c) values (1,1,'foo-bar');
SELECT distinct on (a,b) a, b, c from tempo;
a | b | c
---+---+-----
1 | 1 | foo
1 | 2 | bar
(2 Zeilen)
This DISTINCT ON select only cares for the given arguments (a,b) to be
distinct. Which c is returned is undefined (random).
