Select multiple sums with MySQL query and display them in separate columns

Question

Let\'s say I have a hypothetical table like so that records when some player in some game scores a point:

name   points
------------
bob     10
mike    03
mi         


        

Answer 1

SELECT sum(points), name
FROM `table`
GROUP BY name

Or for the pivot

SELECT sum(if(name = 'mike',points,0)),
       sum(if(name = 'bob',points,0))
FROM `table
