Probabilmente vorrai esaminare le variabili definite dall'utente , e quindi probabilmente vorrai fare qualcosa del genere:
SET @prev := NULL;
SELECT
DATE(created_at),
price - COALESCE(@prev, price) AS price_change,
name,
(@prev := price) AS price FROM (
SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY DATE(created_at)
) t1
GROUP BY
name, price, DATE(created_at)
HAVING name = 'Ibuprofen'
ORDER BY DATE(created_at);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Non ho controllato la sintassi, quindi potrebbe essere un po' fuori posto, ma questa è l'idea generale. Nota che ho aggiunto la data in modo che tu possa ordinare da essa, altrimenti i risultati potrebbero essere privi di significato.
MODIFICA:
Ho appena eseguito questo sulla mia macchina:
SET @prev := NULL;
SELECT
DATE(created_at),
price - COALESCE(@prev, price) AS price_change,
name,
(@prev := price) AS price FROM (
SELECT * FROM items ORDER BY DATE(created_at)
) t1
GROUP BY
name, price, DATE(created_at)
HAVING name = 'Ibuprofen'
ORDER BY DATE(created_at);
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
