    Looking at the info you have provided I'm not sure if it's doable.

    Please post actual desc of your table, include comment for each line describing content, list of possible values when finite.

    Check this query.


    select orderstage_id,process_date from orderhistory
    where orderstage_id in (select orderstage_id from orderhistory
    where orderinfo='reprocessed') and orderinfo!='reprocessed'

    Your query doesn't take into consideration neither cardinality nor order. You cannot just assume there are two rows per orderstage_id.

    How do you know returned row/rows is/are the next to "reprocessed" row?
    1- Your query has the potential to return multiple rows
    2- Your query has the potential to return rows before/after "reprocessed" row

    Better to wait for OP to clarify scenario... then try to help him/her.

    Tell us please what u mean by "next row"?
    How are they ordered so that we know what is "next"
    Support malay_biswal, from what u have posted seems that either u have just 2 rows per ID or u do not know what u need

    Regards

    sorry if i was not clear earlier ..in the history table i have will have rows for every stage like every order goes through 10 different stages from ordering to complete.

    i believe the query works when we have only 2 rows in the table but we have more.
    I am looking for a query next to reprocessed row.it's always the next row and some one can reprocess an order any time.

    Thanks

    Looking that this scenario it would be better for your to migrate this table to a sequential -tape based- file; have you seen those at the museum?

    Now, seriously...

    ... can an order be reprocessed twice?
    ... is your processdate a DATE datatype column?
