SQL grouping by all the columns

Question

Is there any way to group by all the columns of a table without specifying the column names? Like:

select * from table group by *

Answer 1

Short answer: no. GROUP BY clauses intrinsically require order to the way they arrange your results. A different order of field groupings would lead to different results.

Specifying a wildcard would leave the statement open to interpretation and unpredictable behaviour.
