Is this the correct table-definition?

test=# \d page_count
       Table "public.page_count"
      Column      |  Type   | Modifiers
------------------+---------+-----------
 page_count_pdate | date    |
 page_count_count | integer |


If yes, your SQL is wrong:

test=# select
    MAX(page_count_count) - MIN(page_count_count) as day_tot,
    MAX(page_count_count) as day_max, sum(MAX(page_count_count) -
MIN(page_count_count)) as tot,
    page_count_pdate
from page_count
group by page_count_pdate order by page_count_pdate;
ERROR:  aggregate function calls cannot be nested
LINE 3:     MAX(page_count_count) as day_max, sum(MAX(page_count_cou...


Can you provide the correct table definition?
