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

For Mac OS Mojave (10.14) Open terminal

$ sudo mkdir /usr/local/mysql-5.7.24-macos10.14-x86_64/etc
$ cd /usr/local/mysql-5.7.24-macos10.14-x86_64/etc
$ sudo nano my.cnf

Paste following:

[mysqld]
sql_mode=STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION

Shortkeys to Save & Exit nano: Ctrl+x and y and Enter

Note: You might need to update mysql-5.7.24-macos10.14-x86_64 in these commands, just check the correct folder name you got within /usr/local/

Hope it will help someone!

Answer 2

Im working with mysql and registered with root user, the solution that work for me is the following:

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

Answer 3

As of MySQL 5.7.x, the default sql mode includes ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY. (Before 5.7.5, MySQL does not detect functional dependency and ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY is not enabled by default).

ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY: Non-deterministic grouping queries will be rejected

For more details check the documentation of sql_mode

You can follow either of the below methods to modify the sql_mode

Method 1:

Check default value of sql_mode:

SELECT @@sql_mode

Remove ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY from console by executing below query:

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

Method 2:

Access phpmyadmin for editing your sql_mode

• Login on phpmyadmin and open localhost
• Top on Variables present on the top in menu items and search out for sql mode
• Click on edit button to remove ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY and save
