Running Sum Query
Sometimes you need to calculate a running sum. Uses of this include adding a Month-To-Date column to a query of recent orders. I haven't seen anyone publish how to do this before (using this method).
This query works by using the Row_Number() function and recursive query capability of SQL 2005.
create table #t(OrderDate smalldatetime, ProductKey int, QtyOrdered int)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/1/07',1,1)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/1/07',1,1)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/1/07',1,1)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/2/07',1,1)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/3/07',1,1)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/4/07',1,1)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/5/07',1,5)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/6/07',1,6)
insert into #t(OrderDate,ProductKey,QtyOrdered) values ('7/7/07',1,7)
