Disable ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY

Question

I accidentally enabled ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode like this:

SET sql_mode = \'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY\';

How do I disable it?

Answer 1

Be careful using

SET sql_mode = '' 

This actually clears all the modes currently enabled. If you don't want to mess with other settings, you'll want to do a

SELECT @@sql_mode 

first, to get a comma-separated list of the modes enabled, then SET it to this list without the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY option.
