I am trying to write the following query on postgresql:

select name, author_id, count(1), 
    (select count(1)
    from names as n2
    where n2.id = n1.id
        and t2.author_id = t1.author_id
    )               
from names as n1
group by name, author_id

This would certainly work on Microsft SQL Server but it does not at all on postegresql. I read its documentation a bit and it seems I could rewrite it as:

select name, author_id, count(1), total                     
from names as n1, (select count(1) as total
    from names as n2
    where n2.id = n1.id
        and n2.author_id = t1.author_id
    ) as total
group by name, author_id

But that returns the following error on postegresql: "subquery in FROM cannot refer to other relations of same query level". So I'm stuck. Does anyone know how I can achieve that?

Thanks
