I have table xx:
id debet credit balance
1 1000 0 0
2 2000 0 0
3 0 2500 0
4 0 100 0
command in ms-sql 7 can use calculate field (column) balance from id=1 to
id=4:
"update xx set bal=balance=bal+debet-credit"
result:
id debet credit balance
1 1000 0 1000
2 2000 0 3000
3 0 2500 500

Try
UPDATE xx SET balance=balance+debet-credit ;

Three options:
1. Write a function to update the records procedurally (see the plpgsql
section of the manuals). I'd probably use a cursor for this.
2. Write a trigger to keep entries up to date as you insert/delete/update
entries (basically, same as above but keeps things up to date)
3. Use a sub-query
richardh=> SELECT * FROM bank;
id | credit | debit | balance
----+--------+-------+---------
1 | 1000 | 0 | 0
2 | 0 | 250 | 0
3 | 2000 | 0 | 0
(3 rows)
richardh=> UPDATE bank SET balance = (SELECT sum(credit)-sum(debit) AS newbal
FROM bank b2 WHERE b2.id<=bank.id);
UPDATE 3
richardh=> SELECT * FROM bank;
id | credit | debit | balance
----+--------+-------+---------
1 | 1000 | 0 | 1000
2 | 0 | 250 | 750
3 | 2000 | 0 | 2750
(3 rows)
Note that for lots of rows, this may be slow. You might want to rewrite it in
the form b2.balance+b2.credit-b2.debit where b2.id=bank.id-1 but this
requires "id" to not have any gaps in the sequence and also needs special
logic to handle id=1 (or whatever the smallest "id" is).

hi Christoph,
your command :
"UPDATE xx SET balance=balance+debet-credit "
result calculate balance for each row, ex:
id debet credit balance
1 1000 0 1000
2 2000 0 2000
3 0 2500 -2500
4 0 100 -100
not result calculate balance, ex:
id debet credit balance
1 1000 0 1000
2 2000 0 3000
3 0 2500 500
4 0 100 400
regards
betty

You cannot do such a thing in SQL alone: you must use a procedural
language. One way is with plpgsql:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION makebalance() RETURNS VARCHAR LANGUAGE 'plpgsql' AS
'
DECLARE
total INTEGER := 0;
myrow RECORD;
BEGIN
FOR myrow IN SELECT id, credit-debit AS cd FROM xx ORDER BY id ASC LOOP
total := total + myrow.cd;
UPDATE xx SET balance = total WHERE id=myrow.id;
END LOOP;
RETURN ''Final balance: '' || total;
END;
';
This is just a rough idea. You may have to create the language first:
see the "createlang" script in the bin directory of your PostgreSQL installation.

You're mistaken, I think (I can't find the original e-mail in this thread)
UPDATE totals SET balance = total_bal
FROM (SELECT acct_id, (sum(credit) - sum(debit)) as total_bal
FROM accounts GROUP BY acct_id) tb
WHERE tb.acct_id = totals.acct_id
AND totals.acct_id = $selection
... would update a ficticious "totals" table with the sum of credits and
debits for a particular account.
