problem with coalesce

Hi there,

I don't understand why this select doesn't works:

regression=# select coalesce(
tp_rewrite_substitute(ARRAY[query, test.target, test.sample]),
query)
from test,to_tsquery('new2 & york2 & hotel') as query
where query @ test.target;

ERROR: column "query.query" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function

as a workaround I could explicitly specify query, but this doesn't looks
nice

regression=# select coalesce(
tp_rewrite_substitute(ARRAY[query, test.target, test.sample]),
to_tsquery('new2 & york2 & hotel'))
from test,to_tsquery('new2 & york2 & hotel') as query
where query @ test.target;

Regards,
Oleg

Oleg,

ERROR:  column "query.query" must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be
used in an aggregate function

Apparently the parser thinks you have an aggregate function in there. Do
you?
