GROUP BY tables
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
An org.jooq.Table expression extends the org.jooq.GroupField type, and as such, can be used in the GROUP BY clause directly. This is specifically useful for (generated) table references. The following two statements are equivalent, although their generated SQL may differ, depending on native support:
// Ordinary grouping create.select(AUTHOR.ID, count()) .from(AUTHOR) .join(BOOK).on(AUTHOR.ID.eq(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID)) .groupBy(AUTHOR.ID) .fetch(); // Convenient grouping by the entire table create.select(AUTHOR.ID, count()) .from(AUTHOR) .join(BOOK).on(AUTHOR.ID.eq(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID)) .groupBy(AUTHOR) .fetch();
