How to sum rows from the database if the name is the same?

Question

PHP

There is a request to mysql to display rows from a table with a rating, where there can be several records for one user.

SELECT name, month, points FROM points WHERE month=? ORDER BY points DESC

If there are several records with the same name, then points must be summed up and the line merge into one.

Fumbled for an hour and a half, I can not make a request. I will be very grateful for your help

Answer 1

select `name`, `month`, sum(`points`) from `points` group by `name` = ?, `month` = ?
