A table contains the following entries
CREATE TABLE PROV(
ID NUMBER,
PROVIDER VARCHAR2(30),
AMOUNT NUMBER
);


INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES ( 1, 'VW Salzgitter', 10 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 2, 'VW Wolfsburg', 4 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 3, 'VW Hannover', 3 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 4, 'VW Braunschweig', 5 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 5, 'VW Salzgitter', 3 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 6, 'DB Mannheim', 8 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 7, 'DB Gaggenau', 2 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 8, 'DB Mannheim', 3 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 9, 'Audi Gyoer', 6 );
INSERT INTO PROV (ID,PROVIDER, AMOUNT) VALUES( 10, 'Audi Ingolstadt', 7 );


I like to have now the following result

Quote:

PROVIDER|ANZ
VW|5
DB|3
Audi|2

where ANZ is the sum of all data records of a car manufacturer independent of the location.

Sorry for the insignificant title.

Just COUNT the rows GROUPing them by the car manufacturer which seems to be the first word of PROVIDER (use SUBSTR and INSTR).

Well that's not a great data model - manufacturer and location should be in separate columns.
Use instr to find the space.
Use substr to get the characters up to the space.
They use group by and count(*) to get the result you want.

EDIT: separate columns

Bad design and SUBSTR/INSTR might not help:

'Alfa Romeo Stelvio'
'De Tomaso Mangusta'
'Royal Enfield Classic 350'
'Rolls-Royce Silver Spur'
'Elio Motors Reliant Robin'

SY.

With the restriction I mentioned it does, now let's OP tell the story.
Anyway, it is a bad design.

@OP, read Normalization.
