How to get the total of a database column
<p>I have a column of data returned from my database and I'd like to know how to get the sum for the entire column. Can someone tell me if there is a built in function for this?</p>

<pre><code>123.00
12.00
1.00
-----
136.00 &lt; this is what I need.
</code></pre>

<p>Please see the accompanying post for the mysql portion of my code.
