create table foo (a int, b int, c int );
insert into foo values (1,2,3);
insert into foo values (4,5,6);
select '' as label,
*
from foo
union all
select 'TOTAL',
sum(a),
sum(b),
sum(c)
from foo
order by 1,2;
(you wouldn't need the label column to sort by, except that a might
contain negative numbers, so the sum might be _less_ than some/all of
the numbers. by first sorting on this junk column, we can force the
totals at the bottom).
p.s. don't forget the "union __all__", otherwise you'll get rid of
duplicate entries in the your table.
