How to get cumulative sum
select t1.id, t1.SomeNumt, SUM(t2.SomeNumt) as sum
from @t t1
inner join @t t2 on t1.id >= t2.id
group by t1.id, t1.SomeNumt
order by t1.id
SQL Fiddle example
Output
| ID | SOMENUMT | SUM |
-----------------------
| 1 | 10 | 10 |
| 2 | 12 | 22 |
| 3 | 3 | 25 |
| 4 | 15 | 40 |
| 5 | 23 | 63 |
Edit: this is a generalized solution that will work across most db platforms. When there is a better solution available for your specific platform (e.g., gareth's), use it!
The latest version of SQL Server (2012) permits the following.
SELECT
RowID,
Col1,
SUM(Col1) OVER(ORDER BY RowId ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS Col2
FROM tablehh
ORDER BY RowId
or
SELECT
GroupID,
RowID,
Col1,
SUM(Col1) OVER(PARTITION BY GroupID ORDER BY RowId ROWS BETWEEN UNBOUNDED PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW) AS Col2
FROM tablehh
ORDER BY RowId
This is even faster. Partitioned version completes in 34 seconds over 5 million rows for me.
