Re: Sum() rows

The simplest would be to create a stored procedure like this :

declare row as TB1%rowtype, and ret as (id integer, value numeric, subtot
numeric) then :

ret.subtot = 0

FOR row IN SELECT * FROM TB1 ORDER BY id DO
ret.id = row.id
ret.value = row.value
ret.subtot = ret.subtot + row.value
RETURN NEXT ret
END

etc...

SQL doesn't really work well for this kind of things whereas plpgsql works
really well and it's plenty fast too.

> insert into tb1 values (3,3);
> insert into tb1 values (4,17);
> insert into tb1 values (5,-0.5);
> insert into tb1 values (6,3);
