While reading celko's SQL puzzles (second edition) i followed a reference to http://www.dbmsmag.com/9801d06.html.
There is a puzzle that counts items in boxes.
When i try to run the proposed solution on PG 8.1.5, PG says: ERROR:  column reference "qty" is ambiguous


apparently the variable declaration used in the solution is not proper for PostgreSQL. Is there a way to solve this
puzzlein PostgreSQL?
