Hello Philip,

I am using PHP to show the results in a html file, and I have this
`partial sum' running the same way you told. I am just looking around to
know if I can do this straight from a sql query, without any type of
external script, as I am already doing.

Thanks for you answer.

Best Regards,

Marcelo Pereira
