Question

I have a table that looks something like this:

+------+----------+----------+--------+
|  id  |  team    |   match  |  score |
+------+----------+----------+--------+
|  1   |     1    |    1     |  10    |
|  2   |     2    |    1     |  5     |
|  3   |     1    |    1     |  5     |
|  4   |     1    |    2     |   6    |
|  5   |     2    |    1     |   4    |
+------+----------+----------+--------+

I need to calculate SUM() of all the scores for each individual match and team, I know how to calculate the sum…

SELECT SUM(score) AS team_a_score WHERE `match`='1'

I’d expect something like this…

+----------------+
| team_a_score   |
+----------------+
|    24          |
+----------------+

But what I actually need to happen is to get the score for team 1 and 2 separately so it would be more like this…

+----------------+----------------+
| team_a_score   |  team_b_score  |
+----------------+----------------+
|    15          |     9          |
+----------------+----------------+

Hope this is clear enough

Answer 1

How about this

 SELECT team, SUM(score) AS team_a_score FROM some_table GROUP BY team

the result would not be in columns (as described in your questions) but in rows each one with the team number and the total score

+----------+---------------+
|  team    |   score       |
+----------+---------------+
|     1    |    15         |
|     2    |     9         |
