A summing problem

hi,
there is a positive integer n and i am trying to
device an algorithm that gives me all the possible
summation combinations.
For e.g.
n=4
1+3=4
2+2=4
1+1+1+1=4
1+2+1=4
The ordering is not important. Hence there are 4
possible summation combinations.
All attempts to make an algorithm gives exponential
time solutions. Is there a polynomial time solution to
it?
Given n, is there a formula that would count all its
existing summations?
Thank you,
Sarad.
