Guys I want to use analytical function lag in mysql. In Oracle it is supported but I can't do it in Mysql. So can anybody help me how to perform lag operation in Mysql?
For example
UID Operation
1 Logged-in
2 View content
3 Review
I want to use lag function so that my output would be as follows
UID Operation Lagoperation
1 Logged-in
2 View content Logged-in
3 Review View content
Does Mysql support lag function???

You can emulate it with user variables:
select uid, operation, previous_operation from (
select
y.*
, @prev AS previous_Operation
, @prev := Operation
from
your_table y
, (select @prev:=NULL) vars
order by uid
) subquery_alias
see it working in an sqlfiddle live
Here you initialize your variable(s). It's the same as writing SET @prev:=NULL; before writing your query.
, (select @prev:=NULL) vars
Then the order of these statements in the select clause is important:
, @prev AS previous_Operation
, @prev := Operation
The first just displays the variables value, the second assigns the value of the current row to the variable.
It's also important to have an ORDER BY clause, as the output is otherwise not deterministic.
All this is put into a subquery just out of aesthetic reasons,... to filter out this
, @prev := Operation
column.
