Hi,

I posted the following code in one or two of my earlier posts and
_then_ it WAS working!  I know there is no GROUP BY clause but IT WAS
WORKING somehow - the procedure ran fine and inserted quite a good few
records.  However, NOW, after I have dropped and re-created the
database/tables/all the stuff, MySQL is complaining that I should put
a GROUP BY in the following procedure:

create procedure PersonAdd (    Ttl_            char(15),
                              frstNm_         varchar(15),
                              midNm_          varchar(15),
                              lstNm_          varchar(15),
                              Gender_         char(1),
                              dob_            char(8),        /* yyyymmdd */
                              nicNo_          varchar(13),
                              mrtlStts_       char(1),
                              cellNo_         varchar(15),
                              website_        varchar(80),
                              machine_no_     int)
begin
      insert into Person (PersonID, Ttl, frstNm, midNm, lstNm, Gender, dob,
                                  nicNo, mrtlStts, cellNo, website)
      select  (machine_no_ * 1000000) + (CASE WHEN ((max(PersonID)) -
              ((max(PersonID) div 1000000) * 1000000)) is null Then
                      0
              ELSE
                      ((max(PersonID)) - ((max(PersonID) div 1000000)
* 1000000))
              END) + 1 as PersonID, Ttl_, frstNm_, midNm_, lstNm_,
Gender_, dob_, nicNo_,
                      mrtlStts_, cellNo_, website_
      from Person;
end;

When I put all of the fields (except the first expression containing
the aggregage functions) in the group by clause, MySQL complains that
I didn't put PersonID in the GroupBY clause and when I do put PersonID
in the GROUP BY clause MySQL still complains.

I didn't change anything in the code or anything - just re-created the
database, tables, etc.

Any help as to what is causing this strange behavior and why it did
work previously?
