When we run group by in mysql " group by list doesn't require as selected  list " . This is another myth and confusing for mysql users. There is a table structure and some test data which I ran on mysql and sql server simultaneously. Create table groupby_test ( id int,desg varchar (20), location varchar(20)); insert into groupby_test values (1,'Jr Software','Delhi'); insert into groupby_test values (2,'Jr Software','Noida'); insert into groupby_test values (3,'Software Software','Delhi'); insert into groupby_test values (4,'Sr Software Software','Gurgaon'); insert into groupby_test values (5,'Software Software','Gurgaon'); Then Executed below group by query on mysql and sql server. select desg, location from groupby_test group by desg; Result in MySQL; Result in SQLServer Msg 8120, Level 16, State 1, Line 9 Column 'groupby_test.location' is invalid in the selec

Hi, Many times mysql users asking me "show processlist showing list of many sleep queries on their environment". This post is for mysql user. Sleep meaning that thread is do nothing .  Its not a query waiting for connection. It's a connection pointer waiting for the timeout to terminate. and it doesn't have an impact on performance . To varify on your instance run below query.. show variables like '% wait_timeout%'   Then we will see setting is  default wait_timeout=28800 or something else as configured; So we can set values smaller,eg 10-20. We can also kill the thread status maked to sleep, that will not impact system. Thanks
