Thanks. You don't need (or want) distinct in this case. select name, type, sum(price) from mytable group by name, type This will lump together all rows that have the same name/type combination and then sum the prices of those rows. The result will be exactly what you requested: a single row for each name/type combination showing the total for that combination.
