[MySQL 5.7] ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list

[rp1428]

I get an error 3065 regardless of which ordering option I select in configuration. I narrowed it down to:

mysql> SELECT DISTINCT(image_id)
-> FROM piwigo_image_category
-> INNER JOIN piwigo_images ON id = image_id
-> WHERE
-> category_id = 6178
->
-> ORDER BY piwigo_images.file ASC;
ERROR 3065 (HY000): Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'piwigo.piwigo_images.file' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT

The above is from mysql - the browser reports a similar error. To get past this, I changed section_init.inc.php and added piwigo_images.file to the select line to force it for my site.

SELECT DISTINCT(image_id),piwigo_images.file
FROM '.IMAGE_CATEGORY_TABLE.'
INNER JOIN '.IMAGES_TABLE.' ON id = image_id
WHERE
'.$where_sql.'
'.$forbidden.'
'.$conf['order_by'].'
;';

Server version: 5.7.9 MySQL Community Server (GPL)
Piwigo 2.7.4

Hi @rp1428

so MySQL 5.7 has added such a constraint... (I think PostrgreSQL already had it). We will have to manage it seriously!

As you can see on the SQL query you have found, the order_by is a variable, so we will have to select rows as a variable...

[mistic100]

much simpler solution : do not query with DISTINCT and remove duplicates in PHP

[plegall]

@mistic100 of course, much simpler. And I doubt it would make things much slower (fetching some ids should be fast)

[modus75]

I think for large galleries it will definitely be slower (I'm thinking of
flat view for example).

And I'm definitely sure there are many other places...

Do you know if this is going to be the future mysql standard or just some
kind of strict sql option?

Researching, I came across:

As of MySQL 5.7.5, 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. For a description of pre-5.7.5 behavior, see the MySQL 5.6 Reference Manual.)

And my database has:
mysql> SELECT @@global.sql_mode;
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| @@global.sql_mode |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION |
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

So perhaps this is the culprit, the default is ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY. I can try changing this tonight to see if it removes the issue.

[plegall]

It makes me think of http://piwigo.org/bugs/view.php?id=3205 which shows that MySQL 5.7 has new default settings, with more restrictions. But I doubt hosting providers will keep these default settings, or else many web applications will be broken.

[rp1428]

I set sql-mode="" in /etc/my.cnf and that resolved the issue for me.

I just ran into this after upgrading my server today to Ubuntu 16.04, which came with MySQL 5.7.11-0ubuntu6. When I try to browse my albums I get:

Warning:  [mysql error 3065] Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'piwigo.images.date_creation' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT

Adding

[mysqld]
sql-mode=""

to my.cnf resolved my issue. The problem seems to be related to the default ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY setting in mysql 5.7.

[mistic100]

That's exactly what was said above :-)

[jradwan]

Yep, I know. I was just confirming that workaround since this issue is still marked as open.

[madmaze]

This still seems to be an issue (fresh install on ubuntu 16.04), I can confirm @jradwan 's fix works.

[loppis]

^ Same here, on Ubuntu 16.04. The "sql-mode=""" fix helped me as well though.

[NonlinearFruit]

Add this:

[mysqld]
sql-mode=""

To:
/etc/mysql/my.cnf

Worked for me as well, on Ubuntu 16.04

[fistons]

Works for me on Debian 8, but I guess this is just a temporary work around?

[plegall]

This workaround http://piwigo.org/forum/viewtopic.php?pid=163884#p163884 seems interesting.

[imanolGOMI]

Add this:

[mysqld]
sql-mode=""

To:
/etc/mysql/my.cnf

Worked for me as well, on Ubuntu 16.04

[kamlesh131986]

Only Wamp Server
Add code at bottom in my.ini file:

[mysqld]
sql-mode=""

Folder Path:
C:\wamp\bin\mysql\mysql5.7.14\my.ini

It is working in window 7 and 8.

[GeekStocks]

For me, its simpler to fix the "offending" SQL statement. This is an easy change from:

SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(my_date) as 'years' FROM my_tableorder bymy_date;

to:

SELECT DISTINCT YEAR(my_date) as 'years' FROM my_table order by YEAR(my_date);

Just match the select with the order by and you're good to go.

[plegall]

The problem was fixed with b87094a

[donaldong]

Another solution:
mysql > SET @@global.sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@global.sql_mode, 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY', ''));

[awangmatx]

*Another solution:
mysql > SET @@global.sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@global.sql_mode, 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY', ''));

This work for me.

*The problem was fixed with b87094a = Result Error 500

• Cannot start mysql
  [mysqld]
  sql-mode=""

[cilf]

DON'T USE:

[mysqld]
sql-mode=""

From documentation:
The default SQL mode in MySQL 5.7 includes these modes: ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY, STRICT_TRANS_TABLES, NO_ZERO_IN_DATE, NO_ZERO_DATE, ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO, NO_AUTO_CREATE_USER, and NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION.

By setting sql-mode='', you'd loose MySQL strictness - allowing you to put 60 chars long string in a varchar(50), truncating it and being completely silent about it.

I don't care about the other settings so I ended up with:

sql-mode="STRICT_ALL_TABLES"

Hey gang,

MySQL version: Server version: 5.7.23-0ubuntu0.16.04.1 (Ubuntu)

Listen I hope it's not too late, but as many of you I wouldn't like to temper with the workaround, I confirm it's working but I would rather fix my query to work. So from the simple query which was earlier:

SELECT rmc_description 
FROM   rad_mammo_calendars 
WHERE  rmc_year = 2018 
ORDER  BY rmc_id 

I got the error: Error Code: 3065 Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'rirads_wrdp1.rad_mammo_calendars.rmc_id' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT

So I rewrote it with the subquery.

My solution would be:

SELECT a.rmc_description
FROM
(
    SELECT rmc_description, rmc_id
    FROM rad_mammo_calendars
    WHERE rmc_year = 2018
) a
ORDER BY a.rmc_id

I hope it will help somebody.

[batristio]

I edited this file /etc/mysql/my.cnf appending the following lines:

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

Compared with the default sql_mode, I just removed 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY' mode and it fixed the problem for me.

[viraljetani]

This worked for me:
[mysqld]
sql-mode="" .

For people using MAMP (free)(MacOS): Steps -> Stop your servers -> you might need to create a the file my.conf in your /MAMP/conf/ directory if its not already there and put this lines and then try starting servers..

Hope it helps.

[grimlokason]

Hello,

Editing my.cnf or using SET @@global.sql_mode=(SELECT REPLACE(@@global.sql_mode, 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY', '')); is only applicable when having full right on your mysql instance :/

For exemple, on the new DB services on OVH, it's not usable.

It seems that there is a solution here : #376 (comment) but it's not yet implemented :(
