Re: recursive sql

Hello,

sorry for my short explanation. It was not enough to understand the my 
task/target.

These are the basic computation for an exponential moving average (ema)
an statistic indicator for trading data.

The components of trading data are
timestamp, High, Low, Open and Close value
For this indicator I need the timestamp and the close value, not more.

For the current day (period) the formula is

EMA = Close(t) * SF  + ( (1-SF) * EMA(t-1) )

where Smoothing Factor SF = 2 / (n+1)

The best way is, to explain it with an example:
day close    SF    close  1-SF  EMA(t-1)  = part_of_result
  1   105,5
  2   104     0.33 * 104 + 0.76 * 105,5    = 105.005
  3   103.5   0.33 * 103 + 0.76 * 105.005  = 104.508
  4   102     0.33 * 102 + 0.76 * 104.508  = 103.680
  5   101     0.33 * 101 + 0.76 * 103.680  = 102.795
  6   100     0.33 * 100 + 0.76 * 102.795  = 101.872

0.33 and 0.67 are the SF
You see, the result of one line is a component of the next line.
The result for day 6 is 101.872

I need the close value of the current day and
the the close value of the previous day. But before, it must be calculated.

I believe, the best way is, to do it with
"with recursive"
