Rank Functions in SQL SERVER


1. ROW_NUMBER() OVER ([PARTITION BY CLAUSE] <ORDER BY CLUASE>):

Returns the sequantial number of a row within the a partition of result set at 1 for the first row of the each partition.

2. RANK() OVER ([PARTITION BY CLAUSE] <ORDER BY CLUASE >):

Returns rank for rows within the partition of result set.

3. DENSE_RANK() OVER ([PARTITION BY CLAUSE] <ORDER BY CLUASE >):

Returns rank for rows within the partition of result set.With out any gaps in the ranking.

4. NTILE(INTEGER_EXPRESSION) OVER ([PARTITION BY CLAUSE] <ORDER BY CLUASE >):

Distributes the rows in an ordered partition into a specified number of groups.

Examples:


--create Employee table
create table Employee
(
                EmpId int identity(1,1) primary key,
                FirstName varchar(100),
                LastName varchar(100),
                JoinDate datetime ,
                Salary int ,
                Department varchar(20)
)

--Insert data to Employee table

insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department)values('Rakesh','Kalluri','2012-07-01 10:00:00.000',20000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department)values('Shabari','Vempati','2011-05-01 10:00:00.000',25000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department)values('Venkatesh','Bodupaly','2013-04-01 10:00:00.000',15000,'Bpo')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department)values('Surjan','Peddineni','2011-07-01 10:00:00.000',25000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Nani','Ch','2010-07-01 10:00:00.000',50000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Raju','Chinna','2012-07-01 10:00:00.000',25000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Kiran','Kumar','2011-07-01 10:00:00.000',20000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Raki','Kumar','2012-07-01 10:00:00.000',17000,'Bpo')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Sri','Vidya','2011-07-01 10:00:00.000',30000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Fehad','MD','2013-07-01 10:00:00.000',20000,'Bpo')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department)values('Anusha','Kumari','2011-07-01 10:00:00.000',35000,'Software')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department) values('Venky','Naidu','2013-07-01 10:00:00.000',20000,'Bpo')
insert into Employee(FirstName,LastName,JoinDate,Salary,Department)values('Radha','Kumari','2012-07-01 10:00:00.000',10000,'Bpo')

--selecting data from Employee  table

ntile(input_exp) with out using partition cluase
select * ,ntile(3) over (order by Salary desc) as [ntile] from Employee

In Ntile it accepts the input parameter based on input it divides the row ranking.









ntile(input_exp) with using partition cluase
select * ,ntile(3) over (partition by De6partment order by Salary desc) as [ntile] from Employee

Coalesce function

Coalesce function returns the first non-null value among the arguments. Syntax: Coalesce (expression [,..n]) Here is example using Coalesce function Example 1 DECLARE @Str1 varchar ( 10 ), @str2 varchar ( 20 ), @Str3 varchar ( 20 ) SET @Str2 = 'Sql' , @Str3 = 'Server' SELECT COALESCE ( @Str1 , @str2 , @Str3 ) As [Coalesce] In above example @Str2 value is ‘Sql’ , @str3 value is ‘Server’  and @str1 values is Null because it not assigned any value . Output: It return’s “Sql” because Coalesce function return’s first non null value. Example 2: Coalesce in select statement. IF OBJECT_ID ( 'Employee' , 'U' ) IS NOT NULL DROP TABLE Employee CREATE TABLE Employee (   ID INT IDENTITY ( 1 , 1 ) PRIMARY KEY ,   NAME VARCHAR ( 20 ),   SALARY INT ) INSERT INTO Employee   ( NAME , SALARY ) VALUES ( 'Rakesh' , 5000 ),(NULL, 6000 ),( 'Naresh...

Variables in T-SQL

Variables can be used to store the data in temporally based on data type. Variable name begin with @ symbol. There are two types of variables in T-SQL. 1.   Local Variables (It must begin @ symbol). 2.   Global Variables (it must begin @@ symbol) this variables also known as system variables. Syntax Declare a Variable DECLARE   @Variable-Name   DATATYPE EXAMPLE: DECLARE   @Name   VARCHAR ( 100 ) In before 2008 versions of SQL SERVER we declare a variable and assign a value in 2 lines.                 DECLARE   @Name   VARCHAR ( 100 ) SET   @Name = 'LeadFirstSQL' In 2008 and Later versions of SQL SERVER we declare a variable and assign a value in single line. DECLARE   @Name   VARCHAR ( 100 )   = 'LeadFirstSQL' Variables must be declare and used with the same batch. DECLARE   @Name   VARCHAR ( 100 ) ...
