I agree with Peter. To help avoid problems, try this:
SET @@sql_mode :=
'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY,STRICT_TRANS_TABLES,NO_ZERO_IN_DATE,NO_ZERO_DATE,ERROR_FOR_DIVISION_BY_ZERO,NO_ENGINE_SUBSTITUTION';
Now run your query again. You should get an error if you're selecting
a non-grouped column in a GROUP BY query.
I think the above settings are sort of a baseline for sanity's sake.
They keep you from doing invalid or stupid things without knowing it.
MySQL lets you do these things by default.
