No Window Fns in MySQL?

Hello-

I'm a newbie dB user trying to take a table that has date (column a) and value (b) columns, and create a new table that has the same date and value columns but also a new value column (c) that, for any row, has the value that is the average of the values in (b) for the previous x number of days.

Googling around turned up 'window functions' in other versions of SQL (Oracle, Postgre) that seem to be able to do this, but nothing in MySQL.

Is there any way to do this in MySQL?

I know 'group by' exists but it requires a distinct entry across each of the groups of rows I want to average over, which doesn't work in any way i can see with a rolling window.

Appreciate any help.

Philip
