34967	Queries not generating GROUP BY clause with static annotation crashes on SQLite	Simon Legtenborg	David Sanders	"Django ORM is not generating a GROUP BY clause with static annotation. 
After filtering, Django ORM inserts a HAVING clause, but GROUP BY is missing.

**Expected Behavior**
The Django ORM should generate a SQL query with a GROUP_BY clause when using `.values()` and `.annotate()` methods on a queryset.

**Actual Behvaior**
The ORM is not generating a GROUP BY clause when a static annotation is used. However, it does generate it when a non-trivial annotation is used.


**Steps to reproduce**

With a small model
{{{
class Book(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    pages = models.IntegerField(default=0)
}}}

and the corresponding view


{{{
def bug_view(request):
    queryset = Book.objects.all()
    print(f""query: {queryset.query}"")

    # trivial annotation
    annotated_queryset = queryset.annotate(group=Value('all'))
    print(f""annotated_query: {annotated_queryset.query}"")

    # grouped_and_annotated_query won't have a GROUP BY clause
    grouped_and_annotated_queryset = 
    annotated_queryset.values('group').annotate(sum=models.Sum('pages'))
    print(f""grouped_and_annotated_query: {grouped_and_annotated_queryset.query}"")

    # filtered_query contains HAVING clause but no GROUP BY clause
    filtered_queryset = grouped_and_annotated_queryset.filter(sum__gt=10)
    print(f""filtered_query: {filtered_queryset.query}"")
    return HttpResponse(filtered_queryset)
}}}

Django raises a django.db.utils.OperationalError. The (printed) querries are


{{{
query: SELECT ""books_book"".""id"", ""books_book"".""title"", ""books_book"".""pages"" FROM ""books_book""

annotated_query: SELECT ""books_book"".""id"", ""books_book"".""title"", ""books_book"".""pages"", all AS ""group"" FROM ""books_book""

grouped_and_annotated_query: SELECT all AS ""group"", SUM(""books_book"".""pages"") AS ""sum"" FROM ""books_book""

filtered_query: SELECT all AS ""group"", SUM(""books_book"".""pages"") AS ""sum"" FROM ""books_book"" HAVING SUM(""books_book"".""pages"") > 10
}}}

As you can see, there is no GROUP BY keyword in the grouped_and_annotated_query. But after filtering, a HAVING keyword is inserted, without a GROUP BY.  This is the main reason for this error. This happens only to static annotations. If i evaluate a more complex annotation, the grouping works as intended: 

{{{
def without_bug_view(request):
    queryset = Book.objects.all()
    print(f""query: {queryset.query}"")

    # non-trivial annotation
    annotated_queryset = queryset.annotate(large=Case(
        When(pages__gt=650, then=Value(True)),
        default=Value(False),
        output_field=BooleanField()))
    print(f""annotated_query: {annotated_queryset.query}"")
    grouped_and_annotated_queryset = annotated_queryset.values('large').annotate(sum=models.Sum('pages'))
    print(f""grouped_and_annotated_query: {grouped_and_annotated_queryset.query}"")
    filtered_queryset = grouped_and_annotated_queryset.filter(sum__gt=0)
    print(f""filtered_query: {filtered_queryset.query}"")
    return HttpResponse(filtered_queryset)
}}}

querries:
{{{
query: SELECT ""books_book"".""id"", ""books_book"".""title"", ""books_book"".""pages"" FROM ""books_book""

annotated_query: SELECT ""books_book"".""id"", ""books_book"".""title"", ""books_book"".""pages"", CASE WHEN ""books_book"".""pages"" > 650 THEN True ELSE False END AS ""large"" FROM ""books_book""

grouped_and_annotated_query: SELECT CASE WHEN ""books_book"".""pages"" > 650 THEN True ELSE False END AS ""large"", SUM(""books_book"".""pages"") AS ""sum"" FROM ""books_book"" GROUP BY 1

filtered_query: SELECT CASE WHEN ""books_book"".""pages"" > 650 THEN True ELSE False END AS ""large"", SUM(""books_book"".""pages"") AS ""sum"" FROM ""books_book"" GROUP BY 1 HAVING SUM(""books_book"".""pages"") > 0
}}}

The GROUP BY keyword is inserted as is should.
