Remarks
The MySQL GROUP BY clause is used in a SELECT statement to collect data across multiple records and group the results by one or more columns.
Its behavior is governed in part by the value of the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY variable. When this is enabled, SELECT statements that group by any column not in the output return an error. (This is the default as of 5.7.5.) Both setting and not setting this variable can cause problems for naive users or users accustomed to other DBMSs.
