Let's work through another example. Your log table (I am guessing that's 
what it is) has entries (listed in chronological order) from the following 
users: U1, U2, U1, U1, U2, U2, U3, U1. 

How would you like to see that information GROUPed and what does that 
grouping represent (physically). In essence, I am asking you to describe 
what information you are determining by the grouping process, what does 
each GROUP mean to you?
