+This aggregate produces a query with the SQL 2003 ``FILTER WHERE`` syntax
+on databases that support it:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+ SELECT count('id') FILTER (WHERE account_type=1) as regular,
+ count('id') FILTER (WHERE account_type=2) as gold,
+ count('id') FILTER (WHERE account_type=3) as platinum
+ FROM clients;
+
+On other databases, this is emulated using a ``CASE`` statement:
+
+.. code-block:: sql
+
+ SELECT count(CASE WHEN account_type=1 THEN id ELSE null) as regular,
+ count(CASE WHEN account_type=2 THEN id ELSE null) as gold,
+ count(CASE WHEN account_type=3 THEN id ELSE null) as platinum
+ FROM clients;
+
+The two SQL statements are functionally equivalent but the more explicit
+``FILTER`` may perform better.
