I am using MySQL 5.7.13 with WAMP server on my Windows PC
My problem is when executing this query
SELECT * FROM `tbl_customer_pod_uploads` WHERE `load_id` = '78' AND `status` = 'Active' GROUP BY `proof_type`
I always get this error
Expression #1 in the SELECT list is not in the GROUP BY clause and contains the non-aggregate column 'returntr_prod.tbl_customer_pod_uploads.id', which has no functional dependency on the column in the GROUP BY clause; this is consistent with sql_mode=only_full_group_by is not compatible
Please tell me the best solution.
The results I need are as follows
---- --------- --------- --------- -- -------- ---------- ------------ --------------- ---- ---------- ------------ -------- -------------------- ------------------------- | id | user_id | load_id | bill_id | latitude | langitude | proof_type | document_type | file_name | is_private | status | createdon | updatedon | ---- --------- --------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------------------------------------------- ----- -------- ------------------------ ---------------- ----- | 1 | 1 | 78 | 1 | 21.1212 | 21.5454 | 1 | 1 | id_Card.docx | 0 | Active | 2017-01-27 11:30:11 | 2017-01-27 11:30:14 | ---- --------- --------- --------- ---------- --------- ---------------------------------------------- ----- -------- ------------------------ ---------------- -----
There is a system variable
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BYin the MySQL engine.Starting with MySQL version 5.7.5:
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BYSQL mode is enabled by default.Prior to version 5.7.5:
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BYis not enabled by default.If
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BYSQL mode is enabled (enabled by default starting with version 5.7.5), MySQL will reject query select lists,HAVINGconditions, orORDER BYThe list references non-aggregate columns that are neither named in theGROUP BYclause nor relevant to their functionality.To resolve this issue, use one of the following three solutions
(1) PHPMyAdmin
Disable:

It works for me too...
I used this method because there are many similar queries in my project, so I just changed the sql mode to only_full_group_by.
Or simply include all columns specified in the SELECT statement in the GROUP BY clause. sql_mode can remain enabled.
Thanks... :-)

Changing the SQL schema is a workaround, but best practice for structured query languages is to avoid selecting all (SELECT *...) columns and instead use aggregate functions on the grouping columns, as @Tim Biegeleisen does inhttps://stackoverflow.com/a/41887524/3602846
