Rollup for multiple fields in MySQL

I am able to run rollup for single field but unable to do for multiple fields in MySQL. Any idea how can we do rollup on multiple fields

Comments

I have no idea what this even means.

Try asking on http://dba.stackexchange.com if this is a database administration question, or on http://stackoverflow.com if it is a programming question.

Thanks. I am looking it up at various places. Rollup is a db command

> rollup is a db command

You need to read "How to ask questions the smart way".

A quick google suggests "rollup" is used with grouped-queries, so it is a modifier to an SQL select operation, not a db-command as such.

Thanks for correcting

I am not sure if I get your question. I think this query should work

"select country, state, city, SUM(sales), SUM(profit) from foo group by country, state, city with rollup;"

for a table with country, state, city, sales, profit as columns

Thanks. Had tried this way taking multiple fields but it didnt work. Will try again and update you. Once again thanks for the inputs, really appreciate
