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

Adding only one mode to sql_mode without removing existing ones:

SET sql_mode=(SELECT CONCAT(@@sql_mode,','));

Removing only a specific mode from sql_mode without removing others:

SET sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@sql_mode,'',''));

In your case, if you want to remove only ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY mode, then use below command:

SET sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@sql_mode, 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY', ''));
