SOQL returned record limit through aggregation

Hi,

 

I know there is a limit of 50,000 records for SOQL for per apex transcation.

What if an aggregation SOQL is used, and only 5 records are returned; however during aggregation on SFDC side, more than 50,000 records are involved. Will this trigger the 50,000 records limit ?

The SOQL limit applies to records returned, not number of rows returned from a query. So, to answer the question fully, yes, you will receive a governor exception if your query would select more than 50,000 ungrouped rows. You can also trigger non-selective query errors if you filter against large objects that are not index-filtered to less than approximately 300,000 rows.
