The SQL SUM aggregate function allows selecting the total for a numeric column.
The SQL SUM syntax is displayed below:
SELECT SUM(Column1)
FROM Table1
We are going to use the Sales table to illustrate the use of SQL SUM clause:
Sales:
CustomerID Date SaleAmount
2 5/6/2004 $100.22
1 5/7/2004 $99.95
3 5/7/2004 $122.95
3 5/13/2004 $100.00
4 5/22/2004 $555.55
Consider the following SQL SUM statement:
SELECT SUM(SaleAmount)
FROM Sales
This SQL statement will return the sum of all SaleAmount fields and the result of it will be:
SaleAmount
$978.67
Of course you can specify search criteria using the SQL WHERE clause in your SQL SUM statement. If you want to select the total sales for customer with CustomerID = 3, you will use the following SQL SUM statement:
SELECT SUM(SaleAmount)
FROM Sales
WHERE CustomerID = 3
The result will be:
SaleAmount
$222.95
