How do I group the results of a mysql query?
Here is how the query might look:
SELECT columns FROM Table WHERE clause GROUP BY column ORDER BY column
Common mistakes are to apply the GROUP BY either before the WHERE clause or after the ORDER BY - make sure you get it right.
Also remember that you are returning aggregate data rather than every result as an individual row, therefore it can take a little bit of careful thinking as to when you should use GROUP BY and a realisation of what will be returned when you do.
