        <div class="comment-block" style="background-color:#edf5ff;border:1px solid #dddddd;color:#000000;padding:12px;"><p>Argh, JIRA won't let me edit the description. Sorry, I wanted to elaborate.</p>

<p>The test case is one the original reporter (<a href="https://hibernate.onjira.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=windy">https://hibernate.onjira.com/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=windy</a>) greatly simplified down from the real-world problem, as explained in the linked Stack Overflow report.</p>

<p>For testSimplyfiedGroupByObject in the test case (now re-attached here):</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java"><span class="code-keyword">public</span> void testSimplyfiedGroupByObject() {
         EntityManager entityManager = buildEntityManager();
         CriteriaBuilder builder = entityManager.getCriteriaBuilder();
         CriteriaQuery&lt;DBObject&gt; query = builder.createQuery(DBObject.class);
         Root&lt;DBObjectAccessCounter&gt; from = query.from(DBObjectAccessCounter.class);
         Path&lt;DBObject&gt; object = from.get(DBObjectAccessCounter_.object);
         query.groupBy(object).select(object);
         entityManager.createQuery(query).getResultList();
}</pre>
</div></div>

<p>Hibernate is producing the query:</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">select dbobject1_.id as id0_ from DBObjectAccessCounter dbobjectac0_ <span class="code-keyword">inner</span> join DBObject dbobject1_ on dbobjectac0_.object_id=dbobject1_.id group by dbobjectac0_.object_id;</pre>
</div></div>

<p>which fails to execute with:</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">ERROR:  column <span class="code-quote">"dbobject1_.id"</span> must appear in the GROUP BY clause or be used in an aggregate function
LINE 1: select dbobject1_.id as id0_ from DBObjectAccessCounter dbob...</pre>
</div></div>

<p>The correct formulation is:</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">select dbobject1_.id as id0_ from DBObjectAccessCounter dbobjectac0_ <span class="code-keyword">inner</span> join DBObject dbobject1_ on dbobjectac0_.object_id=dbobject1_.id group by dbobject1_.id;</pre>
</div></div>

<p>The only change I've made to correct it is that the GROUP BY references the other side of the join condition, the side mentioned in the SELECT list.</p>

<p>This remains the case even if I rephrase the test to explicitly group by the DBObject side:</p>

<div class="code panel" style="border-width: 1px;"><div class="codeContent panelContent">
<pre class="code-java">Path&lt;DBObject&gt; object = from.get(DBObjectAccessCounter_.object);
Path&lt;<span class="code-object">Long</span>&gt; objectId = object.get(DBObject_.id);
query.groupBy(objectId).select(object);</pre>
</div></div>

<p>which seems dead wrong. Looks like a bug to me.</p>

<p>Maybe some RDBMSes infer that the two fields are the same because of the `INNER JOIN` and implicitly transform the first statement into a `GROUP BY` on the `id` of `DBObject`? Or maybe this is just a Pg dialect bug.</p></div>
