test=# create table Ashish ( x int, y text);
CREATE TABLE
test=*# copy ashish from stdin;
Enter data to be copied followed by a newline.
End with a backslash and a period on a line by itself.
>> 1 abc
>> 2 pqr
>> 3 yxz
>> 4 lmn
>> 1 lmn
>> 2 xyz
>> \.
test=*# CREATE FUNCTION my_aggregate(text,text) RETURNS text AS ' SELECT CASE WHEN $1 <> '''' THEN $1 || '':'' || $2 ELSE $2 END; ' LANGUAGE sql IMMUTABLE STRICT;
CREATE AGGREGATE my_comma (basetype=text, sfunc=my_aggregate , stype=text, initcond='' );
CREATE FUNCTION
CREATE AGGREGATE
test=*# select x, my_comma(y) from ashish group by x;
x | my_comma
---+----------
4 | lmn
3 | yxz
2 | pqr:xyz
1 | abc:lmn
(4 rows)

Okay, i forgot to sort and the chars are in lower case...
