I am trying to compare record n-1 with record n.

Will OLAP LAG (or LEAD) help?

-- print the ordinal column number of the prior row, with /this/ row
select
column_name, table_name, table_schema, ordinal_position, column_heading,
lag(ordinal_position) over (order by table_schema, table_name, column_name) as lag
from syscolumns
where table_schema = 'QGPL'
order by table_schema, table_name, column_name;
