Re: a JOIN on same table, but 'slided over'

Hi Rafal,

Just a note that this is not standard SQL... 'distinct on' is an
extension to SQL provided by postgres.

Following query utilizes the standard SQL to get the same results:

select t1.id as id, t2.id as "id+1",
t1.thread as thread, t2.thread as "thread+1",
t1.info as info, t2.info as "info+1"
from test as t1, test as t2
where t2.id = ( select min(id) from test as t3 where t3.id > t1.id);
