DENSE_RANK
Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition ✅ Express Edition ✅ Professional Edition ✅ Enterprise Edition
DENSE_RANK assigns a series of "dense" rankings (where dense means, no gaps), which are different from RANK.
- The same rank is assigned to tied rows
- Ranks are not skipped after tied rows
SELECT LANGUAGE_ID, dense_rank() OVER (ORDER BY LANGUAGE_ID) FROM BOOK;
create.select(
BOOK.LANGUAGE_ID,
denseRank().over(orderBy(BOOK.LANGUAGE_ID)))
.from(BOOK)
.fetch();
Producing:
+-------------+------------+ | language_id | dense_rank | +-------------+------------+ | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | <-- Tied rows are both ranked first | 2 | 2 | <-- The next rank is 2 as no ranks are skipped | 4 | 3 | +-------------+------------+
