Mysql sum from multiple table

[Paor]

please help for query...

i want sum (kns+kng) by name - example

the result should be:

name|sum

john - 36
bart - 16
steve - 53
jim - 10

tnx

There may be an easier way, but I think this works:

SELECT `name`, SUM(sm) AS total FROM ((SELECT `name`, kns AS sm FROM tab1) UNION ALL (SELECT `name`, kng AS sm FROM tab2)) AS tbl GROUP BY tbl.name

You may benefit from using an user_id in order to relate your tables properly.
