You could have a function called PreviousDate() that returns 
SELECT TOP 1 CurrentDate FROM Table1 WHERE CurrentDate &lt;&nbsp;@PassedDate ORDER BY CurrentDate DESC 
 
And then use the following select statement: 
 
SELECT CurrentDate, dbo.PreviousDate(CurrentDate) as PreviousDate, DATEDIFF(D,CurrentDate,dbo.PreviousDate(CurrentDate)) AS DaysDifference

I have one table in SQL Server 2000 database with the following structure. 
 
ID (Identity Column) 
User ID 
Amount 
Measure Date (DateTime column) 
 
The users enters one record per day per user in this table. Sometimes if user is not operational then Admin can override and enter the 0 amount data for user. Admin can also enter this data in advance for future dates. So the date column data can look like the following for a particuler user. 
 
1/1/2008 
1/2/2008 
1/3/2008 
1/4/2008 
1/10/2008 
1/11/2008 
1/12/2008 
1/13/2008 
 
Now you can notice that there are no dates between 1/5 and 1/9. 
 
My question is how can I identify the break in date sequence using sql query. In above example I want to get either 1/4 or 1/5 as sql query result. 
 
Thanks,

SQL Query for detecting Date sequence break

Oracle is an object-relational database management system. It supports a large number of languages and application development frameworks. Its primary languages are SQL, PL/SQL and Java, but it also includes support for C and C++. Oracle also has its own enterprise modules and application server software.

Oracle Database

Databases are organized collections of data, most commonly accessed through management systems including schemas, tables, queries and processes that allow users to enter and manipulate the information or utilize it in other fashions, such as with web applications or for reporting purposes.

Databases

Microsoft SQL Server is a suite of relational database management system (RDBMS) products providing multi-user database access functionality.SQL Server is available in multiple versions, typically identified by release year, and versions are subdivided into editions to distinguish between product functionality. Component services include integration (SSIS), reporting (SSRS), analysis (SSAS), data quality, master data, T-SQL and performance tuning.
