user1314404 :
If I run:
select ANY_VALUE(id)
from my_table
group by title
it will return 5563 rows which are all id(s) of rows with distinct 'title'.
Table my_table has total 6497 rows. (If I run: Select * from my_table
I got 6497 rows)
Now I expect this query will give me the list of the rest (934 rows) of the id(s) in my_table :
Select * from my_table where id NOT IN (
select ANY_VALUE(id)
from my_table
group by title)
but it gives me 0 row.
I also tried:
Select * from my_table where id NOT IN (
select ANY_VALUE(id)
from my_table
group by title) AND id IS NOT NULL
or
Select * from my_table where not exists (
select ANY_VALUE(id) AS value
from my_table
group by title) and id is not NULL;
All of them return 0 row. What I am doing wrong ?

I'd say this is a bug.
To reproduce:
create table foo(id int auto_increment primary key, a int);
insert into foo(a) values(1), (1), (2);
When you do an explain
and a show warnings
(in MySQL <= 5.6 you have to do explain extended
) you can see what MySQL is actually executing after the optimizer did his job:
mysql > explain select * from foo where id not in (select id from foo group by a);

As you can see this is a totally different query. No more grouping. To get the result you'd expect, you have to nest the query one more time like this:
select * from foo where id not in (
select id from (
select any_value(id) as id from foo group by a
) sq
);
