I want to update the following rows after the sum of the previous rows reach a defined threshold. I'm using MySQL, and trying to think of a way to solve this using SQL only.

Here's an example. Having the threshold 100. Iterating through the rows, when the sum of the previous rows amount >= 100, set the following rows to checked.

Before the operation:

| id | amount | checked |
| 1  | 50     | false   |
| 2  | 50     | false   |
| 3  | 20     | false   |
| 4  | 30     | false   |

After the operation:

| id | amount | checked |
| 1  | 50     | false   |
| 2  | 50     | false   | <- threshold reached (50 + 50 >= 100)
| 3  | 20     | true*   |
| 4  | 30     | true*   |

Is it possible to do it with just a SQL query? Do I need a stored procedure? How could I implement it using either solution?
