Ahh... I think I understand what you are trying to do now.
The query will keep the cumulative total of the "Total" column... so,
your data is 22, 41, 10, 40, 30, 20...
After the 22 the cumulative total is 22
After the 41 the cumulative total is 22+41 or 63
After the 10 the cumulative total is 63+10 or 73
After the 40 the cumulative total is 73+40 or 113
After the 30 the cumulative total is 113+30 or 143 ...
So, you see, it is never exactly equal to 100 so the query doesn't
return any rows.
I think you are looking for the first row (ordered by the ID column)
where the value is exactly 100.
That would be the row with id=7.
Here is a query which will give you that: SELECT * FROM tbl_name
WHERE total=100 ORDER BY id LIMIT 1,1
