querying the value of the previous row

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I'm to write a query like:-

select
     case when column_name1 <> value_of_previous(column_name1)
          then column_name1 end as column
    ,column_name2

from table
ordered by column_name1, column_name2

in order to get:-

column        | column_name2
--------------+--------------
value_1_c1    |   value_1_c2
              |   value_2_c2
              |   value_3_c2
value_2_c1    |   value_4_c2
              |   value_5_c2

              |   value_6_c2
value_3_c1    |   value_7_c2
              |   value_8_c2
              |   value_9_c2

How do I do this? (I'm using pg 7.4)
