trq Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 What field type is the Blocktime field? And what kind of data does it hold? If it where just numbers it would be a simple...[code]SELECT SUM(Blocktime) AS totaltime FROM tbl;[/code]But it sounds to me like you have some sort of timestamp in this field.

trq Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Well, VARCHAR is of absolutley no use here. You cant sum up strings. If you can, change the field to some sort of numeric type eg INT. Then you can simply follow my example above.
