2. 5. 8. Any row-level variable (i.e., a column name) in the result set must be mentioned in the GROUP BY clause for the query to make sense.

In the following example, the row-level variable is city.

If you tried to run the following query, which does not have city in a GROUP BY clause, you would get an error.
