Strange behavior of MySQL command SELECT

I don't know why this query ...

SELECT COUNT(*),* FROM table1 WHERE .. GROUP BY column1

return a syntax error, but ...

SELECT *,COUNT(*) FROM table1 WHERE .. GROUP BY column1

... returns normal data.

Is this a bug?

The Mysql documentation for SELECT says:

Use of an unqualified * with other items in the select list may produce a parse error. To avoid this problem, use a qualified tbl_name.* reference
SELECT AVG(score), t1.* FROM t1 ...

So, in your case use this syntax: 

SELECT COUNT(*), table1.* FROM table1 WHERE .. GROUP BY column1
