RE: how many columns can be in the group by clause
 
For Aggregation:
No. of cols in group by clause = No. of cols in SELECT clause - No. of cols to be aggregated.

For eliminating the duplicates
No. of cols in group by clause = No. of cols in SELECT clause.

In general there might be n number of cols that can be used in the group by clause, which depends on
your number of cols present in SELECT clause

Thanks,
