Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to do this with a single query rather 
than iterate over all of the rows in an application:

I have a table which for brevity looks like:
create table offers {
  integer id;
  integer product_id;
  double price;
}

where for each product there is a number of offers in this table. Now my 
question:
Is it possible to obtain the difference between just the minimum price and the 
next one up per product, so say I have the following data:
id, product_id, price
123, 2, 10.01
125, 2, 10.05
128, 2, 11.30
134, 3, 9.45
147, 3, 11.42
157, 3, 12.08
167, 3, 12.09

then I would like the following returned
product_id, difference
2, .04   (10.05-10.01)
3, 1.97 (11.42-9.45)

,etc


Any ideas?

Thanks

John
