Depending on the structure of your table, you can also use plain SQL with a
self-join, similar to:

      select v1.cust_id
            , v1.order_date
            , v1.order_total
            , sum(v2.order_total) cumulative_total
      from orders v1
         , orders v2
      where v1.cust_id = v2.cust_id AND
            v2.order_date <= v1.order_date
      group by v1.cust_id, v1.order_date, v1.order_total ;

You can use SUM as an analytic function like this: -

SQL> select credit, debit, sum(credit + debit) over (order by rowid) from
foo;

    CREDIT      DEBIT SUM(CREDIT+DEBIT)OVER(ORDERBYROWID)
---------- ---------- -----------------------------------
         3          0                                   3
         0         -1                                   2
         1          0                                   3

Obviously, you will need to order by something more sensible than the rowid
(perhaps a timestamp).
