Hi Pavel,

Thank you for the correction. Since we're at it, I have a question
regarding functions in a query :

Suppose I have a query of the form

SELECT my_function(column_1), column_2
FROM my_table
GROUP BY my_function(column_1)
ORDER BY my_function(column_1);

where my_function is a user defined function.

How many times is the function computed?
