I want to sum up the values of a particular column, for example i want to calculate the total amount, total cashpaid and total balance. hwo do i do it?

Answer 1

Use SUM() function of MySQL like this:

select SUM(amount) from tablename;
select SUM(cashpaid) from tablename;
select SUM(balance) from tablename;

OR you can group them into one:

select SUM(amount), SUM(cashpaid), SUM(balance) from tablename;
