SQL SUM函数用来计算一个字段各个记录的总和。
理解SUM函数,考虑一个employee_tbl表T,其具有以下记录:
SQL> SELECT * FROM employee_tbl; +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | id | name | work_date | daily_typing_pages | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ | 1 | John | 2007-01-24 | 250 | | 2 | Ram | 2007-05-27 | 220 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-05-06 | 170 | | 3 | Jack | 2007-04-06 | 100 | | 4 | Jill | 2007-04-06 | 220 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-06-06 | 300 | | 5 | Zara | 2007-02-06 | 350 | +------+------+------------+--------------------+ 7 rows in set (0.00 sec)
现在假设您想要计算上述表中所有dialy_typing_pages的总各, 那么你可以使用以下命令这样做:
SQL> SELECT SUM(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl; +-------------------------+ | SUM(daily_typing_pages) | +-------------------------+ | 1610 | +-------------------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
可以使用GROUP BY子句中各种记录的总和。 下面的例子将所有涉及到一个人的记录的总和。
SQL> SELECT name, SUM(daily_typing_pages) -> FROM employee_tbl GROUP BY name; +------+-------------------------+ | name | SUM(daily_typing_pages) | +------+-------------------------+ | Jack | 270 | | Jill | 220 | | John | 250 | | Ram | 220 | | Zara | 650 | +------+-------------------------+ 5 rows in set (0.17 sec)
