Hmm, this sounds very similar to a problem I was looking at on Sunday:
select sum(quantity), ID+1 from aggtest1 group by ID+1;
ERROR: replace_agg_clause: variable not in target list
The error message is new as of Sunday; with code older than that this
will crash the backend. And, in fact, what I get from Jan's example
above is:
SELECT count FROM v1;
ERROR: replace_agg_clause: variable not in target list
In both situations, it's necessary to add variables to the target list
that aren't in the list produced by the parser. We have code that does
that sort of thing, but it's evidently not getting applied...
