- 1 Any row-level variable (i.e., a column name) in the result set must be mentioned in the GROUP BY clause for the query to make sense.
- 2 Born after "1960-01-01", group by department number with count(*) >= 4;
- 3 By default, GROUP BY sorts the rows in ascending order
- 4 Count and group by department id
- 5 Count distinct with group by
- 6 Count employee, group by department id and job title
- 7 Getting Values and Subtotals in One Go
- 8 Getting Values and Subtotals in One Go with COALESCE
- 9 Getting Values and Subtotals in One Go with UNION
- 10 Group all ids with averager value more than
- 11 Group and count employeem and display only if its count is more than 4
- 12 Group by case
- 13 GROUP BY used on a column without the column name appearing in the result set
- 14 GROUP by with NULL value
- 15 Grouping at Multiple Levels
- 16 ORA-00979: not a GROUP BY expression
- 17 Use the aggregate functions with the GROUP BY clause
- 18 Using Multiple Columns in a Group
- 19 Using the ORDER BY Clause to Sort Groups
- 20 You don"t have to include the columns used in the GROUP BY clause in your SELECT clause
Any row-level variable (i.e., a column name) in the result set must be mentioned in the GROUP BY clause for the query to make sense.
In the following example, the row-level variable is city.
If you tried to run the following query, which does not have city in a GROUP BY clause, you would get an error.

Using Multiple Columns in a Group
The GROUP BY clause is used for grouping sets of records.
WHERE clause constraints are evaluated on the data before it is grouped.
HAVING clause constraints are evaluated on the results of the data after it has been grouped together.
You can specify multiple columns in a GROUP BY clause.
For example, the following query includes the city and description columns from the employee table in a GROUP BY clause:
SQL> -- create demo table
SQL> create table Employee(
2 ID VARCHAR2(4 BYTE) NOT NULL,
3 First_Name VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
4 Last_Name VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
5 Start_Date DATE,
6 End_Date DATE,
7 Salary Number(8,2),
8 City VARCHAR2(10 BYTE),
9 Description VARCHAR2(15 BYTE)
10 )
