Hello everyone,

I have a table that looks like:

date     tran gl    amt
08/20/03 1001 3010   -30.00
08/20/03 1001 1030  -300.00
08/20/03 1001 1060  +330.00
08/20/03 1002 ...next transaction
...and I need to convert to:

date     glcr gldb  amt
08/20/03 1060 3010  30.00
08/20/03 1060 1030 300.00

in other words, the negative gl's go into gldb
and they make up the total for the positive gl.

is there a way to accomplish this in postgresql?
or should I implement it inside the java app?

thanks

george
