I don't think this is what you want, but I suppose it might help....

Table    = simple
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----
--+
|              Field               |              Type                |
Length|
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----
--+
| price                            | int4                             |
4 |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-----
--+
=> select price,count(price) from simple group by price;
price|count
-----+-----   1|    4   2|    7   4|    8   5|    5   7|   16   9|    1  10|   12
(7 rows)

=> create view simple_v as select price,count(price) from simple group by
price;
CREATE 19503 1
=> select * from simple_v;
price|count
-----+-----   1|    4   2|    7   4|    8   5|    5   7|   16   9|    1  10|   12
(7 rows)

=> insert into simple (price) values (5);
INSERT 19504 1
=> select * from simple_v;
price|count
-----+-----   1|    4   2|    7   4|    8   5|    6   7|   16   9|    1  10|   12
