RE: Looking for gaps in a key sequence

Subject: Looking for gaps in a key sequence

Given a key sequence in a file, really just a series of numbers, does
anybody know of an algorithm, other than brute force, for finding gaps
in the sequence?

Here's an SQL solution:

SELECT A.myseq
FROM mytable A
WHERE myseq NOT IN (
SELECT myseq+1
FROM mytable
)

Hope that helps.
