Hi,
I have three different tables, student1, student2 and Total having fields.

student1 student2 ---> Total

sno sname Math Physics English sno sname Math Physics English ---> sno sname TotalMarks


I want to have calculated TotalMarks (Math+Physics+English) from student1 and studne2 in the Total table.
Please help me about, which SQL command I would use to do this.

Regards,

Faisal

Welcome to the forum.
Please read OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.

With any SQL or PL/SQL question, please, Post a working Test case: create table (including all constraints) and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will be able work with your table and data. Explain with words and sentences the rules that lead to this result.

Show us what you already tried, it seems there is no problem to add 3 columns and put it in another one.

It is bad idea to store computed values in static tables, since base value may change.

I would make your totals table into a view. That way the values and rows will always be correct because they will reference the base tables.

True, but they might get extra points for doing it correctly. LOL
