Re: Query Help

This is a classic case of cumulative aggregates using oracle analytics (since 8i). You might wanna read up on that.

For your query on hand:

select year,
sum(col1) over (order by year rows unbounded preceding) resultcol1 from table1
order by year

      YEAR RESULTCOL1
---------- ----------

      2003         10
      2004         20
      2005         30
      2006         40
      2007         50
      2008         60

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Romeo
