Assuming by "files" you mean rows, and assuming a table named t1, a column
in it named id, and you having done something like ...
SELECT @idmax := MAX( id ) FROM t1;
then this gives you missing numbers:
SELECT t1.id
FROM t1 LEFT JOIN t1 AS t2
ON t1.id = t2.id-1
WHERE t2.id IS NULL AND t1.id < @idmax;
Once MySQL gives us subqueries in 4.1 (December?), it'll be easier ...
SELECT id AS id1 from t1
WHERE id < idmax AND
NOT EXISTS (SELECT id FROM t1 WHERE id = id1 - 1);
