To calculate the total sum for each name, you need to use "GROUP BY name",
not "GROUP BY name, buying_price, sale_price". For the sample data the
above query gives the following result, which is not what was requested:
name | total_sum | buying_price | sale_price
--------+-----------+--------------+------------
mentos | 5 | 100 | 120
mentos | 8 | 110 | 140
durex | 9 | 200 | 210
queen | 10 | 400 | 450
