The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Previous Current Next Record

Asked by k_murli_krishna in SQL Query Syntax, DB2 Database

Tags: SQL

1) I have emp table with empno(pk), ename, sal and deptno(fk) columns
2) I have following query:
SELECT deptno, empno, ename FROM emp
WHERE sal >= 5000
ORDER BY deptno ASC, empno ASC;

3) Now I will feed an existing value to empno and I want in above result data based on ORDER BY deptno, empno record above this and below this if it is a record in the middle. If it is first record, then that and next record. If it is last record, then that and previous record.
4) ROW_NUMBER is not supported in our DB2 database iseries V5R3. Hence I need a generic solution which will work on all RDBMS.

5) It all hinges around the need to find whether next/previous to current deptno is same one or different one since for same deptno empno will be sorted in ASC order but across deptno's sorting order is not at all guaranteed.
6) If it was only ORDER BY empno ASC, using common table expression with WITH clause, empno = ? OR empno = (SELECT MIN(empno) FROM cte WHERE empno > ?) OR empno = (SELECT MAX(empno) FROM cte WHERE empno < ?) will do the trick but due to ORDER BY deptno, empno, the issue has become complex.
7) You can give solution in one query or more i.e. step wise.
