SQL SUM Command

SELECT sum( column_name ) FROM table_name
The command added all the values of the mark field and display.
SELECT SUM( mark ) FROM `student`
SUM(mark)
390
SQL Sum Let us learn about the SUM() SQL command and how to use it in our tables. SUM command can be applied to numeric field and the total of the value is returned. Now let us apply this SUM command to this table and find out the total mark obtain by all the students. The SUM command will add all the values of the mark field and return to us. This is our table
id name class mark
1 John Deo Four 75
2 Max Ruin Three 85
3 Arnold Three 55
4 Krish Star Four 60
5 John Mike Four 60
6 Alex John Four 55

Sum of values of columns in MySQL table with GROUP BY , IN and CASE

We can define some headers like this.
SELECT SUM(mark) as total_mark FROM `student`
total_mark
390

GROUP By with SUM Query

Now let us find out what is the total mark in each class. Here we can use the Group By command to find out the total mark obtained by each class
SELECT class, sum( mark ) as total_mark FROM`student` GROUP BY class
classtotal_mark
Four250
Three140
You can see above that total mark of each class is displayed. Since we have two class in our table so the sql command has returned two class with total marks in each of them. We have to use Group By clause if we ask for the query to return any other field name other than the sum. Otherwise system will generate error.

Listing all columns along with aggregate functions like sum(), max(), min() using over() with partition

WHERE with SUM Query

We can add condition to the sql command to get our desired result. We can add one Where clause to the query to consider records for which mark is more than some value ( say 55 )
SELECT SUM( mark ) as total_mark, class FROM student WHERE  mark > 55 GROUP BY class
total_mark class
195 Four
85 Three

Other sql commands like between can be used along with this sum command to find out required results.

IN with SUM Query

Sum of numbers for ID 1 to 4 ( using SQL IN )
SELECT sum( mark ) FROM `student` where id IN(1,2,3,4)

Math Formula with SUM Query

We will use one Product table where we will store buying price and selling price. We can get the total profit by using this query.
SELECT SUM(sell_price - buy_price) as Profit  FROM plus2_product
Output here is 5 as Profit.
We can use WHERE condition to find profit of a Product.
SELECT SUM(sell_price - buy_price) as Profit  FROM plus2_product WHERE product ='Product1'

Total value of the column at the end of the table

Read more on UNION. Number of columns in both SELECT queries must be same.
SELECT product,buy_price,sell_price FROM plus2_product
UNION
SELECT 'Total:',SUM(buy_price),SUM(sell_price) FROM plus2_product
productbuy_pricesell_price
Product12022
Product21520
Product34043
Product15045
Total:125130


Our Product table is here.
CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `plus2_product` (
  `product` varchar(20) NOT NULL,
  `buy_price` int(3) NOT NULL,
  `sell_price` int(3) NOT NULL
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

--
-- Dumping data for table `plus2_product`
--

INSERT INTO `plus2_product` (`product`, `buy_price`, `sell_price`) VALUES
('Product1', 20, 22),
('Product2', 15, 20),
('Product3', 40, 43),
('Product1', 50, 45);
