Jgl_73 Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 I have problems summing up times using the following select: $Query ="SELECT SUM(TimeField) from myTable"; I have tried to set to TimeField to be a TIME and a TIMESTAMP field. What MySQL does it summarizes the time, but it counts to 100 on seconds and minutes. 1) 00:45:50 2) 00:20:21 => Output: 6571 I would like perform a select where I get to total time from all the records in HH:MM:SS format. Can anyone help please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shivabharat Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Try this select SEC_TO_TIME(sum(TIME_TO_SEC(time_filed))) from <table_name>; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
