Roughly, you need a query like this:
select code, sum(
(select timestamp from Log l2
where l2.timestamp > l1.timestamp
order by timestamp limit 1
)
- timestamp)
from Log l1
group by code;
The problem is the format of your timestamp, which doesn't lend itself
easily to doing math on it. SQLite provides date and time functions:
http://www.sqlite.org/cvstrac/wiki?p=DateAndTimeFunctions
It would be much easier if you could change your timestamps to one of
the formats these functions recognize. Then you can do something like
this:
select code, strftime('%M:%S', sum(
(select julianday(l2.timestamp) from Log l2
where l2.timestamp > l1.timestamp
order by timestamp limit 1
)
- julianday(timestamp)))
from Log l1
group by code;
