Great! 120k rows in 10 seconds on MySQL on Linux and 17 seconds on MS Access
(there's no 'day' parameter mysql's DATEDIFF - when i cracked that it worked!)
select brand,
id,
date,
datediff( date, (select max(T2.date)
from test as T2
where T1.brand = T2.brand
and T2.date < T1.date) )
from test as T1
order by brand, id
Your solution is vastly superior (simpler/faster) to the one in MYSQL cookbook or any SQL forum/discussion I have seen!
Thanks that's great!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
