Summary  
This chapter explains how to use the SUM() aggregate function to calculate the total of all numeric values in a specified column.

General domain of usage  
Data aggregation in relational databases

`SUM()` returns the total of all the values in a given column. 

Here's an example:

SELECT SUM(population) 
FROM country 
WHERE continent='Asia';

The `SUM()` function calculates the total population of all Asian countries found in the `country` table.
