How to return order status and the status of the next order

Question

Greetings,
I cannot use the LEAD function.
How do i simulate this in Oracle 8i PE.
I have a table of orders and for each grouping of orders i need the current status and the next status.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Craig.

Answer 1

Something like:
SELECT i.order_id, i.item, i.status
             MAX(i2.status) next_status
FROM incidents i, incidents i2
WHERE i.order_id = i2.order_id(+)
  AND i.order_id < i2.order+id (+)
GROUP BY i.order_id, i.item, i.status
ORDER BY i.order_id
