Sorry, I tried to make my subject as good as possible.

I have a table where I store the dates in which I take out of my inventory  
(like "installation dates")

table
---------------
row_id   SERIAL
date     DATE
fk_item  INTEGER


and that's pretty much it.

I want to have a query returning how long have been certain items lasting.

Say I have:

SELCT date FROM table WHERE fk_item = "INKJET_INK-BW"

date
-------------
2005-02-02
2005-03-05
2005-04-07
2005-05-02

I need something to calculate the intervals between those dates, like this:

intervals (in days)
--------------------
  31
  34
  25

So I can get the stddev and stuff from the "duration" of the items.

I've been having a hard time with it. I'm trying NOT to program new  
functions.

Any help will be appreciated.
