Dear Friends,   I am having a few problems using a select query which joins two views
containing aggregate functions (see query 1 below).  Entering this query in
MS Access through ODBC (linking the tables in) I get the correct result of:

uid    totalanswered        correct    totaltime        weekno
221    5                        2            27                5
223    5                        2            24                5

Using Psql I get the result:
uid | totalanswered | correct | totaltime | weekno
-----+---------------+---------+-----------+--------221 |            10 |      10 |        54 |      5223 |
10|      10 |        48 |      5
 
(2 rows)

I have read similar posts where people have had problems with views
containing aggregate functions so I realise that there remains work to be
done on this aspect, but my question is:
Does anyone know how I can get this query to work?  Can I make the query be
interpreted in the same way as ODBC?
Is the problem the same as
http://www.postgresql.org/mhonarc/pgsql-sql/2000-11/msg00175.html which Tim
Lane explained the problem "the rewriter effectively
expands them in-line" (Tim Lane)?

Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.

David Morgan.
