Turn Off SQL_MODE - ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY
SQL standards says that GROUP BY clause should have table columns, not expression. But MYSQL always allows expression in GROUP BY clause. “Expression #1 of SELECT list is not in GROUP BY clause and contains nonaggregated column ‘db.table.col’ which is not functionally dependent on columns in GROUP BY clause; this is incompatible with sql_mode=only_full_group_by” is an error which indicates that selected expressions always differs from grouping.
Disabling ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY Function With Command
MYSQL need to examine the parse of the given expression and find the grouping expression in the same tree. This error may occur when only_full_group_by function is enabled. To solve this error you have to disable the function. Following command should be executed to disable the function.
In the MYSQL query, select part columns should be in the GROUP_BY portion. You can also disable all modes of sql by setting the value of sql mode to empty string.
Turn Off only_full_group_by using Config File
You can also turn off only_full_group_by function by editing config file my.conf. Usually you can see the my.cnf file in /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.conf. Inside the file the heading will be [mysql] and value will be sql_mode. You can execute this command if you are not sure about the file.
First of all you have to check the sql_mode by executing the below query,
SQL Mode are the global configuration for SQL commands. Strict mode is used to control the missing and invalid values in the data-change MYSQL statements. The result will be like the below statement
OUTPUT:
MySQL server is operated in various modes, depending on the sql_mode variable these modes can be used for various clients. ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY is the default mode in the MySQL server. These sql_modes are the global configuration of each sql command.
You can copy the values of sql_mode, delete ONLY_FULL_GROUPBY, update my.cnf and combine in a statement under [mysqld] section as given below
[mysqld]
The above statement is used to disable the file permanently.
Restarting mysql
After doing this you can restart mysql server with this command.
If you want to disable the file at runtime use the below expression.
ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY, STRICT_TRANS_TABLES are the sql_mode settings that are enabled recently. After giving the expression reconnect the file.

Code:

Turn Off only_full_group_by using Config File
You can also turn off only_full_group_by function by editing config file my.conf. Usually you can see the my.cnf file in /etc/my.cnf or /etc/mysql/my.conf. Inside the file the heading will be [mysql] and value will be sql_mode. You can execute this command if you are not sure about the file.
Code:
$ mysql --help | grep my.cnf
order of preference, my.cnf, $MYSQL_TCP_PORT,
/etc/my.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf /usr/etc/my.cnf ~/.my.cnf
Code:
SELECT @@sql_mode;
Code:
mysql> show variables like 'sql_mode'\G
Code:
Variable_name: sql_mode
Value:ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
You can copy the values of sql_mode, delete ONLY_FULL_GROUPBY, update my.cnf and combine in a statement under [mysqld] section as given below
[mysqld]
Code:
sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION
Restarting mysql
After doing this you can restart mysql server with this command.
Code:
$ mysql service restart
Code:
SET @@GLOBAL.sql_mode ='STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'
