    The GROUP BY clause in Oracle SQL/PLSQL groups records based on one or more columns and allows aggregation functions to be applied. It is used with the SELECT statement. The syntax includes the columns to group by after the FROM clause. Aggregate functions like SUM(), MIN(), MAX(), and COUNT() can retrieve aggregated values for each group. Examples show using GROUP BY to get the total salary for each department and the maximum salary for each department.
