finding if group of n consecutive numbers are repeating in SQL

Question

I want to find out if a set of n consecutive numbers are repeating for a particular partition.

Lets say I have deviceIds with some recordid whose value are in consecutive fashion each record that device generates is incremented by 1.

So I want to know if resetting the recordid and regenerating records with same sequence again. Lets understand by following table.

Device ID        recordid             DateTime
--------------------------------------------------
07777778999       2               18-12-2016 17:15
07777778123       10              18-12-2016 18:10

07777778999       7               20-12-2016 18:55
...

There are many devices so we can partition it by devices and then apply our query to find if for a device, the numbers are regenerated like for example 07777778999, we had record id's 2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and then the numbers are regenerated from 4,5,6,7, etc.

So i want to list down all the devices with such regeneration using SQL. So the expected output for the above would be device 07777778999

Answer 1

Try this.

This will return all the records, which has the regenerated values.

SELECT DeviceID,RecordId
FROM ResultSet
GROUP BY DeviceID,RecordId
HAVING COUNT(1)>1;
