Postgres window function lag() equivalent query in MySQL

I have postgresql's script as follow as:

select student,
       data, 
       number,
       number - lag(number,1,number) over (partition by student order by id) as output
from the_table
order by student, id

but I'm not use postgresql, I use mysql, when I will try that script in mysql, that script is error, so how to convert that script in mysql?

This question relationship with question as follow as: reduction of each row in the table of database.

Consider using MYSQL8, which now supports window functions.

You need to use variables to mimic the functionality. See this page for examples:

http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/mysql/2007/04/12/emulating-analytic-aka-ranking-functions-with-mysql.html?page=2

-- Oracle
select DEPTNO, AVG(HIRE_INTERVAL)
   2  from  (select DEPTNO,
   3               HIREDATE - LAG(HIREDATE, 1)
   4                             over (partition by  DEPTNO
   5                                   order by HIREDATE)  HIRE_INTERVAL
   6         from EMPLOYEES)
   7   group by DEPTNO

-- MySQL
select DEPTNO, avg(HIRE_INTERVAL)
       -> from (select DEPTNO,
       ->              if (@dept = DEPTNO,
       ->                     datediff(HIREDATE, @hd) +  least(0, @hd := HIREDATE),
       ->                     NULL + least(0, @dept :=  DEPTNO) + (@hd := NULL))
       ->                                                      HIRE_INTERVAL
       ->        from EMPLOYEES,
       ->            (select (@dept := 0)) as a
       ->        order by DEPTNO, HIREDATE) as b
       -> group by DEPTNO;
