Good idea, but i can't get it to work.
create or replace view testview3 as (
select generate_series(1,(select count(*) from test group by "value")), value
from test group by value);
select * from testview3 limit 5;
--ERROR: more than one row returned by a subquery used as an expression
When i put the generate_series in the FROM clause, the results will be
matched "everything to everything".
I guess the windowing function is the way to go.
Thx,
WBL
