Answer 1

Try something like:

SELECT *, SUM(SalesAmount) OVER() as TotalSales
FROM YourTable

But if you only need the sum and nothing else, just do:

SELECT SUM(SalesAmount) as TotalSales
FROM YourTable

And in future, please try to give more information in your question.

Answer 2

To sum columns, it's best to use whatever client you're dealing with (Reporting Services, Datagrid, whatever), and just tell that to display a totals row.

If you were to do it within the same query, then you'd end up with rows that meant something different, and displaying it becomes quite awkward.

You CAN do it in the query, but you probably shouldn't.

Answer 3

I think you are looking for SUM function

Eg:

SELECT SUM(salary) as "Total Salary"
FROM employees

Answer 4

select MAX([p-1]) p1,MAX([p-2]) p2 from #temp
