well, no not really. The original question is about subtracting date
in one row from the date in another row. This is an Igor-level
question, but the following comes to my mind --
Given the following table,
qlite> create table t (a, b datetime);
sqlite> insert into t values (1, '1993-01-01 00:00:30');
sqlite> insert into t values (2, '1992-02-12 00:12:29');
sqlite> select * from t;
1|1993-01-01 00:00:30
2|1992-02-12 00:12:29
sqlite> select (julianday(t1.b) - julianday(t2.b)) d from t t1 left
join t t2 on t1.a = t2.a and t1.a = 1 or t2.a = 2 and d > 0;
Replace julianday with the datetime function of your choice. Still, my
solution is not really good because I can't figure out how to get
exactly the result I want, but it almost gets me there.
