Is this really an Update or are you just looking for ranked results? If all that you want is the results table ranked in descending order the following select will do it for you. SELECT Name, sum(Amount) FROM Table group by Name order by 2 desc This Select can be put in a Cursor and "Fetch"ed very easily.
