Mysql query not working in postgresql in rails 3.2.11

I am using the following query in rails 

grouped_link_counters = uattachment).link_counters.group("year(created_at), month(created_at)").count("created_at")

And it gives following result in rails console using mysql adapter.

  UserAttachment Load (0.2ms)  SELECT `user_attachments`.* FROM `user_attachments` WHERE `user_attachments`.`id` = 132 LIMIT 1
   (0.2ms)  SELECT COUNT(`link_counters`.`created_at`) AS count_created_at, year(created_at), month(created_at) AS year_created_at_month_created_at FROM `link_counters` WHERE `link_counters`.`user_attachment_id` = 132 GROUP BY year(created_at), month(created_at)
 => {11=>9, 12=>15, 1=>1, 2=>1}

But when I use postgresql the same command throws following error :-

SELECT COUNT("link_counters"."created_at") AS count_created_at, year(created_at), month(created_at) AS year_created_at_month_created_at FROM "link_counters" WHERE "link_counters"."user_attachment_id" = 1 GROUP BY year(created_at), month(created_at)

Can anybody tell me what can be done to get the same response from postgresql. Thanks in advance!

In PostgreSQL, we don't have helper functions like YEAR, MONTH etc. Instead of these, you can use date_part in PostgreSQL for same result as MySQL.

E.g.

grouped_link_counters = uattachment.link_counters.group("date_part('year', created_at), date_part('month', created_at)").count("created_at")
