To solve the task, it is necessary to determine the date of the first payment for each client, and then for each payment, calculate the difference in days from this date. Example in SQL (assuming a table payments with columns payment_id, client_id, payment_date):
SELECT
p.payment_id,
p.client_id,
DATEDIFF(p.payment_date, first_pay.first_payment_date) AS days_from_first_payment
FROM
payments p
JOIN
(SELECT client_id, MIN(payment_date) AS first_payment_date
FROM payments
GROUP BY client_id) first_pay
ON p.client_id = first_pay.client_id;
Here, the subquery finds the first payment of each client, and the main query calculates the number of days between the current payment and the first one.
