I had created one Task Master web form in asp.net using c#....in which i had one column as Spent Hours for the particular task of particular employee....so to fetch the total numbers of spent hours i wrote the sql query as

Select Count(Spenthrs) from Task_Master where Eid='PS103' and Tname='t1';

for example...

if PS103 numbered employee perform task t1 and he spent 2 hours one day,5 hours on another day,3 hrs on the next day etc... then total numberof spent hours should be 10...but the above query which i wrote give me count as 3...so what will be right sql query syntax for this...???

Solution 2

It should be:

Select SUM(Spenthrs) from Task_Master where Eid='PS103' and Tname='t1';

the count "counts" the number of "entries" (rows) in your task manager, while you should be "summing" these hours.
