I have a table that stores transactions for income and expenditure. the fields of the table are:
transid, accountcredited, accountdebited, date, amount. Every transaction has double entry; it debits one account and credit another.

The accountcredited and accountdebited are linked to accounts table(the fields for accounts table are accid, accountno, balance)

The problem is I cannot figure out sql statemet to generate running balance.

Any help would greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance

There are many examples of tsql cumulative totals on the web - have you tried searching?

For this there are four approaches that I can recall: Nested sub-query, Self join, Cursor and Update to local variable. The last one is by far the most efficient.
