List pgsql-general
I tried the following command

db=> SELECT DISTINCT name, city FROM table ORDER BY trim(table.name);
ERROR:  For SELECT DISTINCT, ORDER BY expressions must appear in target list

As you can tell, it failed. This is a bit annoying for I am relying on a
similar command for one of my projects. Does anyone have any ideas what is
going on? Are there work arounds? Should I just give up for now (i.e. wait
for 7.1+n to come out)?
