SELECT name, totime = SUM(detaillength)
FROM tbl
GROUP BY name

For a more accurate answer, I recommend that you post:

1) CREATE TABLE statements for your tables.
2) INSERT statements with sample data.
3) The desired result given the sample.

This will very likely give you a tested solution.

The less information you disclose, the less accurate and the less
useful the answers will be.
