Its possible to do something like this with subqueries as long as there
is some way (e.g. additional columns) to order the table.
Then you could do something like:
select "sum", (select sum("sum") from xyz b where b.id <= a.id) from xyz a
order by id;
This assumes there is a column named id which can be used to order the data.
