Re: recursive sql - Mailing list pgsql-sql

Hallo,

with the window function lag there is a shift of one or more rows. Every 
row connects to the previous row := lag(column,1).

What I am looking for:
ts  c  c2
..  1  1  -- or null in the first row
..  2  3  -- it is the result of 1 + 2
..  3  6  -- it is the result of 3 + 3
..  4  10 -- it is the result of 6 + 4
