I would certainly think the way MySQL treats this is correct. SQLite
may be trying to assume what you meant, and interpreting. Which may
confuse the client if they don't know what they're asking.

Say I have a table defined and populated as follows:
CREATE TABLE test (a TEXT);
INSERT INTO test (a) VALUES ('hello');
INSERT INTO test (a) VALUES ('hello');
INSERT INTO test (a) VALUES ('hello');
And I perform the following query:
SELECT rowid,count(a) FROM test
In SQLite I get back:
3|hello
But in MySQL I get back an error:
#1140 - Mixing of GROUP columns (MIN(),MAX(),COUNT()...) with no GROUP
columns is illegal if there is no GROUP BY clause
I'm wondering if MySQL isn't right to treat this as an error?
