Group by list doesn't require as selected list

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 select list because it is not contained in either an aggregate function or the GROUP BY clause.

Why this happening  with MySQL?

First of all this is the wrong query for any databases. select desg, location from groupby_test group by desg;..
If this is running then this will not give correct result. MySQL doesn't give error due to its sql_mode that is not checking either consistency or strict mode. We can set it off or on.

To verify execute below query on MySQL instance.

show variables like '%sql_mode%'

There will no record.

Now do changes in setting by below command.

SET sql_mode = 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY'

Now re-run query..
Error Code: 1055. 'abcd.groupby_test.location' isn't in GROUP BY 0.000 sec

MySQL also require group by list equal by select list and aggregation.

Thanks

How to encrypt and decrypt Table data in postgres

For encrypting and decrypting , we must use the bytea data type on the column which we implement. Bcoz bytea will use the pgcrypto method by default. However, you will need to create the pgcrypto extension to enable these functions as they are not pre-defined in PostgreSQL/PPAS. Example CREATE EXTENSION pgcrypto; CREATE TABLE userinfo (username varchar(20), password bytea); >>    Inserting the data in an encrypted format INSERT INTO userinfo VALUES(' suman ',encrypt('111222','password','aes')); select * from userinfo ; >>    Retrieving the data as decrypted format SELECT decrypt(password,decode('password','escape'::text),'aes'::text) FROM userinfo; Thanks for reading Plz dont forget to like Facebook Page.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sql-DBAcoin/523110684456757

SQL71562: external references are not supported when creating a package from this platform

Last week I got this error from one of developer who was trying to deploy his project from Testing server to SQL Azure QA server. He was using “Deploy Database to SQL Azure” option from SSMS Tool-Task option. After connecting to SQL Azure portal when operation started to deployment below errors occurs. Validation of the schema model for data package failed. Error SQL71562: Error validating element xx.xxx.xx:function .dbo.xxx has an unresolved refrence to object xx.dbo.xxxx external refrences are not supported when creating a package from this platform . Reason: The reason of the this error was; some functions of project was dependent on master database and only single database was being deploy to SQL Azure. DACFx must block Export when object definitions (views, procedures, etc.) contain external references, as Azure SQL Database does not allow cross-database external references So, this error was coming. Solution : I suggested him to create those function to locally
