Here is a simple example using the Northwind database in SQL Server
The key to the GROUP BY clause is that is needs to be used in aggregate
functions
SELECT COUNT(P.ProductID) AS ItemTotal, C.CategoryName
FROM Products AS P INNER JOIN Categories AS C ON P.CategoryID = C.CategoryID
GROUP BY

requirement...but how would I write my example query to include an

Ok, I see what's going on. You want to out put your records in a group,
thats a CF issue, not a SQL issue.
What you need to do is to use ORDER BY to get your records in the correct
order then user the GROUP attribute of the CFOUTPUT tag
GROUP BY in SQL is for compiling related data and
Are you trying to get a count of all of the books by Genre? Or are you
trying to get a list of all of the genres?

But why does it require that the count be calculated

Question: What's the benefit to using the alias? Is there a
benefit or is its usage just required?
Could it just be:
Select distinct Book_Genre
from Books
order by Book_Genre
You don't need an alias. SELECT DISTINCT fieldname FROM tablename will do.

Not really, it's just a habit. I like to explicitlly control the name of the
resulting variable.
Dave is right, as usual, you can just leave it and it will retain it's given
column name.
