Re: Sum() rows - Mailing list pgsql-sql

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 DOret.id = row.idret.value = row.valueret.subtot = ret.subtot +
row.valueRETURNNEXT 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.
