Good evening,

I am trying to count the booleans per each GROUP BY section by the
following stored function:

CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION words_list_puzzles(
in_start interval,
in_end interval

) RETURNS TABLE (
out_label text,
out_count bigint,
out_puzzle boolean,
out_mid bigint,
out_secret text,
out_gid integer,
out_score integer
) AS
$func$

SELECT
TO_CHAR(played, 'Mon YYYY') AS label,
COUNT(NULLIF(puzzle, FALSE)), -- this only returns 0 or 1, why?
puzzle,
mid,
MD5(mid || ‘my little secret’) AS secret,
gid,
score

FROM words_moves
WHERE action = 'play'
AND LENGTH(hand) = 7
AND (LENGTH(letters) = 7 OR score > 90)
AND played > CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - in_start
AND played < CURRENT_TIMESTAMP - in_end
GROUP BY label, puzzle, mid, secret, gid, score
ORDER BY played DESC

$func$ LANGUAGE sql STABLE;

But when I run it, I only get 0 or 1 in the out_count column:

words_ru=> select * from words_list_puzzles(interval '2 year', interval '1
year');
out_label | out_count | out_puzzle | out_mid | out_secret
| out_gid | out_score

- while I was hoping to get 2 for the "May 2018" section.

What am I doing wrong please, why don't the values add up? Below is the
table desc:

words_ru=> \d words_moves
Table "public.words_moves"
Column | Type | Collation | Nullable |
Default
---------+--------------------------+-----------+----------+------------------------------------------
mid | bigint | | not null |
nextval('words_moves_mid_seq'::regclass)
action | text | | not null |
gid | integer | | not null |
uid | integer | | not null |
played | timestamp with time zone | | not null |
tiles | jsonb | | |
score | integer | | |
letters | text | | |
hand | text | | |
puzzle | boolean | | not null | false
Indexes:
"words_moves_pkey" PRIMARY KEY, btree (mid)
"words_moves_gid_played_idx" btree (gid, played DESC)
"words_moves_uid_action_played_idx" btree (uid, action, played)
"words_moves_uid_idx" btree (uid)
Check constraints:
"words_moves_score_check" CHECK (score >= 0)
Foreign-key constraints:
"words_moves_gid_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (gid) REFERENCES words_games(gid) ON
DELETE CASCADE
"words_moves_uid_fkey" FOREIGN KEY (uid) REFERENCES words_users(uid) ON
DELETE CASCADE
Referenced by:
TABLE "words_scores" CONSTRAINT "words_scores_mid_fkey" FOREIGN KEY
(mid) REFERENCES words_moves(mid) ON DELETE CASCADE

Thank you
Alex
