Using LEAD analytical function its possible to get hierarchical set of data. Here is an example:

SELECT deptno, empno, sal, LEAD(sal, 1, 0) OVER (PARTITION BY dept ORDER BY sal DESC NULLS LAST) NEXT_LOWER_SAL, LAG(sal, 1, 0) OVER (PARTITION BY dept ORDER BY sal DESC NULLS LAST) PREV_HIGHER_SAL FROM emp WHERE deptno IN (10, 20) ORDER BY deptno, sal DESC;

DEPTNO EMPNO SAL NEXT_LOWER_SAL PREV_HIGHER_SAL
