Not sure I got the point, but I guess this is a good candidate for a CTE:

WITH RECURSIVE t(n) AS (
    VALUES (10)
  UNION ALL
    SELECT n+10 FROM t WHERE n < 50
)
select count(*), t.n from m, t where mark > t.n group by t.n;

I meant 'fast', not 'fat. Sorry for the typo.

You got it right. The query gets the data exactly as I wanted it. Thanks a lot.

This might get expensive with many rows.

On the other hand, you can do it like this:

create table grades (username text, grade int4);
insert into grades select 'x', int(rand() * 50) from generate_series(1,100);

with a as
  (select (grade/10)*10 as mark,
                     count(*)
   from grades
   group by mark)
select mark,
       sum(count) over (
                        order by mark)
from a
order by mark;

Whis should be faster.
