SQL Server Compact 3.5 GROUP BY Clause Problem

Question

Hi,
   I have a table as below:
Tag(string)    Name(string)   Description(string)    LocationID(Guid)
"SELECT Tag, Name, Description, LocationID FROM MyTable GROUP BY LocationID"
gives me an error, any ideas on what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
Paul.

Hi pr_wainwright,
GROUP BY statement is used in conjunction with the aggregate functions to group the result-set by one or more columns
e.g
select Tag,name, Description, sum(locationid) from mytable group by
Tag,name, Description
SELECT columnname, aggregatefunction(columnname)
FROM tablename
WHERE columnname operator value
GROUP BY columnname;
