Are there any techniques that would allow a row set like this
WITH
base AS
(
SELECT 1 N FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SELECT 2 N FROM DUAL UNION ALL
SEL
Yet another way:
with base as (
select 1 n from dual union all
select 2 n from dual union all
select 3 n from dual union all
select 6 n from dual union all
select 7 n from dual union all
select 17 n from dual union all
select 18 n from dual union all
select 19 n from dual union all
select 21 n from dual)
select a,b
from (select a
,case when b is not null and a is not null
then b
else lead(n) over (order by n)
end b
from (select n
,a
,b
from (select n
,case n-1 when lag (n) over (order by n) then null else n end a
,case n+1 when lead (n) over (order by n) then null else n end b
from base)
where a is not null
or b is not null))
where a is not null
order by a
