Question

Can you please help me with this? I am trying to calculate the total of all the rows in my Price Table, but the values never add up, and now it doesn’t seem to calculate anymore either.

I have the following:

@{
    decimal money = 0.00m;
    var prices = "SELECT Price, SUM(Price) FROM PriceTable GROUP BY Price";

            var database = Database.Open("MYDB");
            database.QuerySingle(prices);
            money = prices.AsDecimal();
}

And somewhere in my HTML I type:

@money // to display the totalAmount

Am I doing it right? I’ve searched for this, but surprisingly there seems to be not much info about this, I’m probably not using the right keywords though.

Thank you

Answer 1

change

var prices = "SELECT Price, SUM(Price) FROM PriceTable GROUP BY Price";

to

var prices = "SELECT SUM(Price) FROM PriceTable";

IF all you want is the sum of all rows, the grouping is not required.

Also;

var result = database.QuerySingle(prices);
money = Convert.ToDecimal(result);
