Hi guys,

If I have a table that is just a single column full of numbers, how can 
I select all the rows from the table with a second column that is the 
running tally so far down the result set?

eg:

Num     Tally so far
0.3	0.3
1.2	1.5
2.0	3.5
...

Does this require PL/PgSQL coding?  If so, how do you actually construct 
an arbitrary row for returning?  The docs are somewhat unclear on this.

Chris
