distinct result with sum of rows

[Raadha]

i have a result of say.. 6 records.. fectched from db.
each containing values
a 10
b 20
c 10
a 30
c 50
a 05

i need to get printed as
a 45
b 20
c 60

how to get the distinct results with the sum in the next column

I would do a group by col1 and sum on col2.

E.g

SELECT
     tablename.col1,
     sum(tablename.col2)
FROM
     tablename
GROUP BY
     tablename.col1

Above solution is correct, I would like add more to it
we can add "order by tablename.col1"

i got this set of result through mysqli query and some sets of loops and if conditions. i need to filter and add the sum after getting this result..
thanks in advance :) ( pls do consider me as a newborn in this field)

Perhaps you'd like to expand on that?

If I understand you properly, perhaps you're looking for "WITH ROLLUP"
