I'm fairly new to sql analytics and need help with an relatively simple problem.

Given table:

ID      Operation Date      Old_Loc     New_Loc
100     9/1/04  12:34       B1
100     9/1/04  12:45       B2
100     9/1/04  13:30


I want to move the location down by one record so the result will be
ID      Operation Date      Old_Loc     New_Loc
100     9/1/04  12:34       B1
100     9/1/04  12:45       B2               B1
100     9/1/04  13:30                          B2

I'm using:

update tab_name
set new_loc = (select lead(old_loc) over (partition by id order by operation_dt) from tab_name);

but I'm getting Ora 1427 - Single-row subquery returns more than one row.

Like I said, I'm new to sql analytics so I may be completely off base.

Can anyone offer some insight?

Thanks,
