Is there a way to capture a cummulative sum with a reset condition in mySQL? The use case for this is a simple cash register table
id transactionType value CurrentBalance
1 purchase 10 10
2 sale -10 0
3 RESET 20 20
4 purchase 10 30
5 sale -10 20
6 sale 10 30
7 sale -20 10
The answer from here is a good starting point but I don't see how to extend it: Create a Cumulative Sum Column in MySQL
SELECT t.id,
t.count,
@running_total := @running_total + t.value AS CurrentBalance
FROM TABLE t
JOIN (SELECT @running_total := 0) r
ORDER BY t.id
NOTE: basically the idea is to reset the cumulative sum each time a reset is hit. Ideally I am trying to have an on update/insert trigger which will update the entire CurrentBalance column taking into account RESETs. This is a small table so I don't mind updating the whole table in exchange for something simple.
All this requires is some simple conditional logic:
SELECT t.id, t.count,
@running_total := if(transactionType = 'RESET', t.value,
@running_total + t.value
) as CurrentBalance
FROM TABLE t JOIN
(SELECT @running_total := 0) params
ORDER BY t.id;
