datetime

Hi,

I have a table that looks like this:

----------------------
| DateTime   | Value |
----------------------
| 2010-01-01 |   26  |
| 2010-02-01 |   24  |       
| 2010-03-01 |   23  |
| 2010-04-01 |   28  |
| 2010-05-01 |   30  |

I need to find if the last three consecutive months have increased in value.

How can I get SQL to check whether the value for each has increased? If anyone can give me any pointers for solving this problem it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks
