I don't think that SUM will work for varchar columns. If I got your point right - you need to use WITH ROLLUP grouping http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/group-by-modifiers.html
see second example on that page. regards, m -----Original Message----- From: Tompkins Neil [mailto:neil.tompk...@googlemail.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 31, 2010 11:43 AM To: [MySQL] Subject: MySQL SUM on two columns Hi, I've the following basic SUM for our products based on a rating. SELECT SUM(products.rating) AS products_rating FROM products_sales INNER JOIN products ON products_sales.products_id = products.products_id WHERE products.enabled = 1 AND products_sales.language = 'EN' This works fine, however I also want to SUM the ES language within the same query. Is this possible to do, or should I just query the table twice, replacing the language parameter ? Thanks.
