[Not Tested]
SELECT b.IDone, b.IDtwo, b.sale, array_agg(a) AS matching_on_tableA
FROM TableA a
NATURAL JOIN ( SELECT IDone, IDtwo, max(sale) AS sale FROM TableA GROUP BY
1, 2 ) b
GROUP BY 1, 2, 3;
In this solution you simply save the entire tableA record, as a composite
typed column, into an array so that you now have a single row for each
"IDone, IDtwo, (max)sale" combination - which you omitted in the description
above - but can still access to relevant matching rows using the array. Add
"ORDER BY" - e.g., array_agg(...ORDER BY) - to setup a desired sort order.
You can do something like (against, not tested):
SELECT IDone, IDtwo, sale, (array_agg[0]).* AS row_from_tablea FROM <the
above query>
to get to the relevant data in the array.
