Using SphinxQL with SphinxSE

Question

Can I actually use sphinxQL with SphinxSE plugin? Like this:

SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE query='SELECT id FROM products GROUP BY region, price';

Answer 1

Nope. Two completely different ways of accessing sphinx.

SphinxSE under the hood uses the SphinxAPI.

SELECT * FROM t1 WHERE query=';select=id;index=products;groupby=attr:region,price';

Although I dont know if the multiple attribute group by will work.
