I love it too!  I have an update for out monitoring software that does
something like:

insert into monitoring table (a,b,c,thredhols) select distinct a,b,c,
50 from bigtable where date > now() - interval '24 hours' returning
a,b,c

and it is so much simpler than how I had to do it before, mostly in app code.

Every time I turn around there's something new in postgresql that
makes me love it that much more.

I owe somebody a whole bunch of pizza...
