    Hi,

    Above query will throw an error.

    Explanation: In Group by clause the columns selected must be either used in Group by clause or in aggregate functions. The Name field is neither used in aggregate methods and in group by clause and hence will result in error “Malformed Query”.

    Thanks

    Adding some points

     

    The expression cannot include Aggregate Functions; however, the GROUP BY clause is often used with Aggregate Functions to return summary values for eachgroup. The GROUP BY clause without aggregates is similar to using SELECT DISTINCT. ... The GROUP BY clause does not order data.

    Thanks
