let db_con  = mysql.createConnection({
    host: "localhost",
    user: "root",
    password: '',
    database: 'gfg_db'
});

db_con.on('error', (err) => {
    console.log(err.code);
});

db_con.connect((err) => {
    if (err) {
      console.log("Database Connection Failed !!!", err.code);
      return;
    }

    console.log("We are connected to gfg_db database");

    // Here is the query
    let query = "SELECT SUM(salary) AS total_salary FROM publishers";

    db_con.query(query, (err, rows) => {
        if(err) throw err;
