Suggest me an MySQL Query for output like the above

Answer 1

SELECT date, SUM(Points) AS sumPoint FROM table GROUP BY DATE(date)

Since date column might be datetime or date type in table

Answer 2

try

 SELECT `date`, SUM(`Points`) AS sumPoint FROM table GROUP BY `date`

Note : dont forget to wrap date column with ` as DATE is reserve keyword of mySQL
