 * It is possible, but you’ll need to write some custom code to do it.
 * There is a filter that is invoked any time a record is updated, you can update
   your sum field at that time.
 * I don’t have any code snippets at the moment that show how this is done, but 
   the key points are this action
 * pdb-after_submit_update
 * which gets passed in the submitted data, and this public method, which gives 
   you a way to update a single record:
 * Participants_Db::write_participant( $data, $id );
 * The data in that is an associative array of the data you want to write (this 
   is where your sum would go) and the second parameter is the ID of the record.
