Re: Sql basic Query

It isn't that easy. Try this (haven't tested it):

SELECT news1.id, news2.id, news3.id, message
FROM news AS news1, news AS news2, news AS news3
WHERE news1.id < news2.id AND news2.id > news3.id
and not exists (
select 1
from news n
where n.id > news1.id and n.id < news2.id)
and not exists (
select 1
from news n
where n.id > news2.id and n.id < news3.id)
