GROUP BY clause

Use the GROUP BY clause to group data by values.

GROUP BY is an optional clause used to group rows that have the same values for all columns and expressions in the list. To output an aggregation for each group, include an aggregate or selector function in the SELECT statement. When GROUP BY appears in a query, the SELECT list can only use columns that appear in the GROUP BY list or in aggregate expressions.

Group by aliases

  • GROUP BY can use column aliases that are defined in the SELECT clause.
  • GROUP BY won’t use an aliased value if the alias is the same as the original column name. GROUP BY uses the original value of the column, not the transformed, aliased value. We recommended using column ordinals in in the GROUP BY clause to group by transformed values and maintain the alias identifier.
