Hello,
I have a problem with writing a select statement that would return
records for which difference in values of this and following ID is
bigger than 1. Example table
ID Data
1 Text
2 Text2
5 Text5
23 Text23
24 TXT
25 RRRR
So I need to return rows with IDs 2,5,23.

Hi,
sorry, I don't get it. If difference between current and following id should
be bigger than 1, then returned rows should be only 2 and 5. Not 23.
You can do it this way:
select lag
from
(select
id,
lag(id) over (order by id)
from x
order by id) a
where
id-lag > 1;
regards
Szymon

SELECT id FROM Example EXCEPT SELECT id-1 FROM Example;
select * FROM Example WHERE id+1 NOT IN ( SELECT id FROM Example );
