In later versions of postgres this is relaxed a bit. If you are grouping
by a primary key, you don't need to group by columns that are fixed
by that key. For example the following query is accepted in 9.1 as gameid
is a key for games and hence we don't need to also group by ga,es.title.

SELECT games.gameid, games.title
  FROM games, crate
    WHERE
      games.gameid = crate.gameid
      AND
      games.contact = 'BOB'
      AND
      crate.touched >= current_timestamp + '4 year ago'
  GROUP BY games.gameid
  HAVING count(1) < 30
  ORDER BY games.gameid
;
