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

This is what I performed to fix on Mysql workbench:

Before I got the current value with the below command

SELECT @@sql_mode 

later I removed the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY key from the list and I pasted the below command

SET sql_mode = 'STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION'

If you are using WAMP. Left click on the WAMP icon then goto MySQL -> MySQL settings -> sql-mode and then select sql-mode->user mode

On my sql (version 5.7.11 running on Mac OS X) this work for me on mysql shell client:

SET
@@GLOBAL.sql_mode="STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION"

According to MySQL 5.6 Documentation, sql_mode is default is

blank string in MySQL 5.6.5 and back NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES in 5.6.6 +

mysql 5.6 reference

Answer 5

On MySQL 5.7 and Ubuntu 16.04, edit the file mysql.cnf.

$ sudo nano /etc/mysql/conf.d/mysql.cnf

Include the sql_mode like the following and save the file.

[mysql]
sql_mode=IGNORE_SPACE,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Observe that, in my case, I removed the mode STRICT_TRANS_TABLES and the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY.

Doing this, it will save the mode configuration permanently. Differently if you just update the @@sql_mode through MySQL, because it will reset on machine/service restart.

After that, to the modified configuration take in action, restart the mysql service:

$ sudo service mysql restart

Try to access the mysql:

$ mysql -u user_name -p

If you are able to login and access MySQL console, it is ok. Great!

BUT, if like me, you face the error "unknown variable sql_mode", which indicates that sql_mode is an option for mysqld, you will have to go back, edit the file mysql.cnf again and change the [mysql] to [mysqld]. Restart the MySQL service and do a last test trying to login on MySQL console. Here it is!

Thanks to @cwhisperer. I had the same issue with Doctrine in a Symfony app. I just added the option to my config.yml:

doctrine:
    dbal:
        driver:   pdo_mysql
        options:
            # PDO::MYSQL_ATTR_INIT_COMMAND
            1002: "SET sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@sql_mode,'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY',''))"

This worked fine for me.
