What is

MySQL 1057: Field doesn't exist in GROUP BY.

 ?

When encountering the error 1057: Field doesn't exist in GROUP BY in MySQL, the user should immediately:

  1. Identify the query causing the error, focusing on the `GROUP BY` clause.


2. Verify the existence of all fields specified in the `GROUP BY` clause in the select statement and ensure they match exactly with the column names in the table schema.

  1. Use the `DESCRIBE ;` command to list all columns in the involved table(s) to confirm the correct column names.


4. Correct any discrepancies in column names in the `GROUP BY` clause to match the actual column names in the table.

Example commands for investigation:
- To view the structure of a table which might be causing the error: `DESCRIBE tablename;`
- To check the current query that caused the error (if within an application, locate the log or debug mode to capture this).

No additional metrics are immediately necessary for resolving this specific error; the focus should be on correcting the column names in the query.

Attached error:
