This is a good question, as different databases use different flavours of SQL...
This is a good question, as different databases use different flavours of SQL...
Is a good question, because of internal functions or anything. If you are using PL/SQL or T-SQL the functions changes. For example in MS T-SQL there are several options that in Sybase T-SQL doesn't work.
Besides the question doesn't have to be a "good" one... is only a question. In generarlly speaking the questions are only for answer them, not judging them.

Venabili,
I object... because I tried the TimYates solution in Sybase and doesn't seem to work.
The mine works in Sybase(T-SQL).

Mine will work in Oracle and Postgres (I think)
It's a split then...
Tim in PL/SQL, mine T-SQL

Doesn't sybase have the "AS" keyword then?
Yes it has...
But you can not referer to an AS field in a group by clause. You have to be explicit.

A split between me and you seems more than fair then :-)

by the way, this question does not make sense.
What is the author trying to do anyway ?? - group-by column has to be referenced in the 'select' part!
According to the ANSI, there are 2 syntaxes for group-by clause:
1) use full column name : group by col_name
2) use relative number of the column in select clause: group by 1

The question is about how to do a Group By clause, and the answers are right for T-SQL and PL/SQL
