Calculate balance with mysql

Question

I have a table which contains the following data:

ID      In       Out 
1      100.00    0.00   
2       10.00    0.00   
3        0.00   70.00    
4                 


        

Answer 1

A simple LEFT JOIN will suffice:

SELECT t.ID, t.In, t.Out, (SUM(t2.In) - SUM(t2.Out)) Balance
FROM mytable t
    LEFT JOIN mytable t2 ON b2.ID <= b.ID
GROUP BY b.ID

Or subquery (which as it turns out is about twice as fast)

SELECT t.ID, t.In, t.Out,
    (SELECT SUM(t2.In) - SUM(t2.Out) FROM mytable t2 WHERE t2.ID <= t.ID) Balance
FROM mytable t;
