MySQL的SUM函数是用来找出记录中各种的字段的总和。
要了解SUM函数考虑EMPLOYEE_TBL表具有以下记录：
mysql> 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，假设根据上面的表想来计算所有的dialy_typing_pages的总数，那么可以通过使用下面的命令：
mysql> 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子句设置的各种记录的总和。下面的例子将总结所有相关的记录一个人，打印纸的每一个人总数。
mysql> 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)
