I have a table Emp which has these rows:

Emp_cd | Val1  | Val2  | Val3  | Total
-------+-------+-------+-------+-------
 1     | 1.23  | 2.23  | 3.43  | 
 2     | 23.03 | 12.23 | 2.92  |
 3     | 7.23  | 9.05  | 13.43 |
 4     | 03.21 | 78.23 | 9.43  |

I want to find SUM of Val1, Val2, Val3 and which will show in the Total column.

Easy:

SELECT 
   Val1,
   Val2,
   Val3,
   (Val1 + Val2 + Val3) as 'Total'
FROM Emp

or if you just want one row:

SELECT 
   SUM(Val1) as 'Val1',
   SUM(Val2) as 'Val2',
   SUM(Val3) as 'Val3',
   (SUM(Val1) + SUM(Val2) + SUM(Val3)) as 'Total'
FROM Emp
