What you're asking for is fairly much inherently exceedingly
expensive, and that's not really a PostgreSQL issue, it would be much
the same with any database.


The cost of the balance calculation for the first row may be 1.
For row 2, it's 1+1 = 2.
For row 3, it needs the balance from #2, so cost = 2+1 = 3.

Those add up, so the cost leaps thus:Individual costs Row    Aggregate                 1          1         1 + 2 = 3
      4     1 + 2 + 3 = 6         101 + 2 + 3 + 4 = 10         20and so forth...
 

The "naive" algorithm for this essentially results in the cost of the
query increasingly with O(n^3) where n is the number of elements in
the table.

You can get closer to O(n) by cacheing balances, but that will _not_
fall in an obvious way from an SQL query.

There is an easy way to do this; write a plpgsql set returning
function which adds the balance to the last column of the table.  That
query will always have a cost in both time and memory proportional to
the size of the table, and the memory cost may bite you as table size
grows...

Can you give me some example function which adds the balance to the last 
column of the table.

Thanks.

Can you give me some example function which adds the balance to the last 
column of the table. or other query which same result and more faster

Thanks.

No time, but here is a link to a useful article on SRFs.

<http://techdocs.postgresql.org/guides/SetReturningFunctions>

Once you know how to do an SRF, you should be able to build the one
you need.

so, i'm using this query:

    FROM

result from above query :

my problem, i would like to place balance in last field. i try using this query :

 

SELECT
  trans.id,
  trans.trx_timestamptz,
  trans.account,
  trans.debet,
  trans.credit,

 

  (SELECT
      SUM(coalesce(credit,0)-coalesce(debet,0))
   FROM
  (
    SELECT
      transactions.id,
      transactions.trx_timestamptz,
      transactions.account,

 

      CASE
        WHEN trx_type.t_type  = 'DB' THEN
          transactions.amount
        ELSE
          0
      END AS debet,
      CASE
      WHEN trx_type.t_type = 'CR' THEN
          transactions.amount
        ELSE
          0
      END AS credit
    FROM
      transactions
      INNER JOIN trx_type ON (transactions.trx_type_id = trx_type.id)

 

  )  sub
   WHERE
    (sub.id <= trans.id)
    AND
    (sub.account = trans.account)
  )
  AS balance

 

FROM
  (
    SELECT
      transactions.id,
      transactions.trx_timestamptz,
      transactions.account,

 

      CASE
        WHEN trx_type.t_type  = 'DB' THEN
          transactions.amount
        ELSE
          0
      END AS debet,
      CASE
      WHEN trx_type.t_type = 'CR' THEN
          transactions.amount
        ELSE
          0
      END AS credit
    FROM
      transactions
      INNER JOIN trx_type ON (transactions.trx_type_id = trx_type.id)

 

  ) AS trans

everything is ok, but when record > 1000000 that query eat all my cpu process and take a long time, i have wait for 3 mimutes but query doesn't finish. (pgsql-8.0-1 running on Dual Xeon 2.8 and 2GB of RAM)

 

can you help me how to fix them.

 

Thanks
