How to obtain a coalesce aggregation in a GROUP BY query? - Mailing list pgsql-sql

select coalesce_agg(col order by col asc) from some_table group by other_col

clearly the col column is nullable.

which is the best way (in terms of performance too) to obtain this?

Are there any built-in aggregate function or should I write a new aggregate function with CREATE AGGREGATE?

Do you think coalesce_agg should be a built-in aggregation?

Thanks in advance
