I got a problem with query:
select distinct (date), bytes from access_log;
which works but not as I expect. I thought this query will select
all rows with distinct values of 'date' column, but it get
distinct pairs 'date, bytes' . From documnetation I see
"DISTINCT will eliminate all duplicate rows from the selection.
DISTINCT ON column will eliminate all duplicates in the specified column;
this is equivalent to using GROUP BY column.
ALL will return all candidate rows, including duplicates."
discovery=> select distinct on date,bytes from access_log;
ERROR: parser: parse error at or near ","
Regards,
Oleg
