you can buy these books almost any where.  However, I can only find the 2nd addition for the SQL
puzzles book on this website.  I recommend the 2nd addition of the first.

Well the number of rows will probably be a problem, since the running total ( B ) is going to have
to scan most of the table for each row returned from your table ( A ).  However, you can easily
limit the rows returned by table ( A ):

    SELECT A.oid, A.detail, A.value_d, A.value_h
            sum( B.value_d - B.value_h) AS value_sum
      FROM Assentaments AS A
INNER JOIN Assentaments AS B
        ON A.oid <= B.oid
     WHERE A.oid BETWEEN 1 AND 100 -- you will have to pick the appropriate values
  GROUP BY A.oid, A.detail, A.value_d, A.value_h
  ORDER BY A.oid;

If ... sum( B.value_d - B.value_h) AS value_sum ... is not what you
really want, we can force your original syntax, but we will have to
reform you query a little.  Also, getting it to work will probably
hurt performance a bit more.

I am not sure about this error.  It doesn't make sense to me.  Could you Copy/Paste the actual
query with the associated error message?
