I have got a table which contains 5 column and query requirements:

update row no 8 (or id=8) set its column 2, column 3's value
            from id 9th column 2, column 3 value.

means all value of column 2, 3 should be shifted to column 2, 3 of upper row (start from row no 8) and value of last row's 2, 3 will be null

For example, with just 3 rows, the first row is untouched, the second to N-1th rows are shifted once, and the Nth row has nulls.

 id  math  science sst hindi english
  1   11     12     13  14   15
  2   21     22     23  24   25
  3   31     32     33  34   35

The result of query of id=2 should be:

 id  math  science sst hindi english
  1   11     12     13  14   15
  2   31     32     23  24   25        //value of 3rd row (col 2,3) shifted to row 2
  3   null   null   33  34   35

This process should run for all rows whose id > 2

Please help me to create this update query
