Thanks David, Chris. That was helpful.

One more point, what if I want to update id based on some group by
condition.
Suppose the structure changes to

t1

id id1 id2 sign
1 0 -1 A
2 0 -3 A
3 8 -4 B
4 0 -5 B
5 0 -5 B


and I would like to apply the same logic grouping on sign.
Output like

id id1 id2 sign
1 -6 -1 A
2 -7 -3 A
3 8 -4 B
4 -6 -5 B
5 -7 -5 B

Something like

UPDATE t1
SET id1=-ROWNUM+(SELECT Min(id2) FROM t1 WHERE id1=0)
WHERE id1=0
GROUP BY sign;

Any idea?

TIA
