SQL GROUP BY 子句與 SELECT 語句結合在一起使用，可以將相同數據分成一組。

在 SELECT 語句中，GROUP BY 子句緊隨 WHERE 子句，在 ORDER BY 子句之前。

語法：

GROUP BY 子句的基本語法如下所示。GROUP BY 子句必須在 WHERE 子句的條件之后，ORDER BY 子句（如果有的話）之前。

    SELECT column1, column2
    FROM table_name
    WHERE [ conditions ]
    GROUP BY column1, column2
    ORDER BY column1, column2

示例：

考慮含有如下所示記錄的 CUSTOMERS 表：

    +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
    | ID | NAME     | AGE | ADDRESS   | SALARY   |
    +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
    |  1 | Ramesh   |  32 | Ahmedabad |  2000.00 |
    |  2 | Khilan   |  25 | Delhi     |  1500.00 |
    |  3 | kaushik  |  23 | Kota      |  2000.00 |
    |  4 | Chaitali |  25 | Mumbai    |  6500.00 |
    |  5 | Hardik   |  27 | Bhopal    |  8500.00 |
    |  6 | Komal    |  22 | MP        |  4500.00 |
    |  7 | Muffy    |  24 | Indore    | 10000.00 |
    +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

如果你想要知道每個客戶的薪水如何，可以寫一個帶有 GROUP BY 子句的查詢：

    SQL> SELECT NAME, SUM(SALARY) FROM CUSTOMERS
         GROUP BY NAME;

結果如下所示：

    +----------+-------------+
    | NAME     | SUM(SALARY) |
    +----------+-------------+
    | Chaitali |     6500.00 |
    | Hardik   |     8500.00 |
    | kaushik  |     2000.00 |
    | Khilan   |     1500.00 |
    | Komal    |     4500.00 |
    | Muffy    |    10000.00 |
    | Ramesh   |     2000.00 |
    +----------+-------------+

現在，讓我們換一張 CUSTOMERS 表，表中記錄的 NAME 字段有重復值：

    +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
    | ID | NAME     | AGE | ADDRESS   | SALARY   |
    +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+
    |  1 | Ramesh   |  32 | Ahmedabad |  2000.00 |
    |  2 | Ramesh   |  25 | Delhi     |  1500.00 |
    |  3 | kaushik  |  23 | Kota      |  2000.00 |
    |  4 | kaushik  |  25 | Mumbai    |  6500.00 |
    |  5 | Hardik   |  27 | Bhopal    |  8500.00 |
    |  6 | Komal    |  22 | MP        |  4500.00 |
    |  7 | Muffy    |  24 | Indore    | 10000.00 |
    +----+----------+-----+-----------+----------+

同樣，如果你想要知道每個客戶的薪水如何的話，可以寫一個帶有 GROUP BY 子句的查詢：

    SQL> SELECT NAME, SUM(SALARY) FROM CUSTOMERS
         GROUP BY NAME;

結果如下所示：

    +---------+-------------+
    | NAME    | SUM(SALARY) |
    +---------+-------------+
    | Hardik  |     8500.00 |
    | kaushik |     8500.00 |
    | Komal   |     4500.00 |
    | Muffy   |    10000.00 |
    | Ramesh  |     3500.00 |
    +---------+-------------+
