from Work.staff

Group by Gender;

     76

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: !, !!, &, (, *, **, +, ',', -, /,

SQL requires commas between variables on select and similar list type instructions (order by or group by)

select Gender ,

sum (Salary) as Total_Salary

from Work.staff
