Hi!
I use Kexi to interact with MySQL server and its databases.
I love it, however in Kexi it's impossible creating queries with operators SUM() COUNT() etc. like :

    SELECT SUM(hour)
    FROM table;

Because the program warns me with a message : "Syntax error before ")"" and the same query in mysql-server functions perfectly.
How can solve this problem?
Thanks.
Andrea G.

Kexi parses the SQL itself and so don't pass the SQL commands directly, but rebuild them (needed for scripts portability and for bindings with the GUI). Currently the Kexi parser does not support groupping and aggregation.

This is planned for 2.x. I am sorry for the delay.

By the way I have marked the report as a wish for 2.x.
It won't be implemented (by the core team) for 1.x series.

Added "grouping" to the title since it is inseparable from aggregation.

Out of interest, there are several supported aggregate functions in KReport/Kexi Reports.
Comment 7 Jarosław Staniek 2019-01-29 22:30:33 UTC 
Yes, that's good note. Ultimate though is that, when aggregations feature come to KEXI queries (and forms), they can be harmonized the Reports' aggregations.
