Goal

Starting with Oracle DB 23ai, it is now possible to perform group aggregation in the GROUP BY clause by specifying column aliases or positions.
This enhancement addresses the previous necessity of writing precise column names in the GROUP BY clause, which often led to lengthy and complex SQL statements,
allowing for more concise and streamlined queries.
