This is working for me: SELECT xph2.l low,xph.l high FROM test_temp xph, test_temp xph2 WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT l FROM test_temp WHERE l = xph.l + 1) AND NOT EXISTS (SELECT l FROM test_temp WHERE l = xph2.l - 1) AND (xph.l - xph2.l)+1 = (SELECT COUNT (1) FROM test_temp WHERE l <= xph.l AND l >= xph2.l) order BY 1,2
where table test_temp has column l.
