Tamas -
Sorry didn't mean to come across sounding short. Bruce's answer was just a
little ... succinct, since you had mentioned you had queries that used to
work, I thought I should mention _why_ the behavior changed. Then I got
carried away, imaging how people might repond to that.
As to lack of SQL knowledge in this regard, let me suggest you analyze
the queries that you are doing group by on, and only return the fields
you actually need grouped on (and the aggregates, of course.) in particular,
look out for constructs like 'SELECT foo.* ...' that wildcard is almost
never appropriate for a GROUP BY query.
HTH,
Ross
