Does anyone know how to sum a table in sql with multiple fields in.

For Example - Table 1 -

---------------------------------------------
|FactoryID | AreaID | ReasonCode | Time(Mins)|
|----------|--------|------------|-----------|
| 116      |  A1    |  14        | 12        |
| 116      |  A1    |  62        | 9         |

i want to add the time in Table 1

so

SQL =

SQL

Select SUM(Time(Mins)) where FactoryID ='116' and AreaID = 'A1'

and then pass this to Table 2 and get the results below

------------------------------------
|FactoryID |AreaID |TotalTime(Mins)|
------------------------------------
| 116      | A1    | 18            |

i have tried using

SQL

Insert Into Table2 (FactoryID,AreaID,TotalTime(Mins))
Select SUM(Time(Mins)) where FactoryID ='116' and AreaID = 'A1'

but to no avail

really sorry if this appears as highly basic, but any help or alternative approach would be welcome.

Solution 1

Try

SQL

Insert into Table2 (FactoryID, AreaID, TotalTime(Mins)
Select FactoryID, AreaID, SUM(Time(Mins)) From Table1
Where FactoryID = '116' And AreaID = 'A1'
Group by FactoryID, AreaID

You have to give values for all fields in the insert (three fields in this case)
