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
select * from Employee
  





Row_Number() with out using partition cluase
select * ,row_number() over (order by Salary desc) as Row_Num from Employee


  



Row_Number() with using partition cluase
select * ,row_number() over (partition by Department order by Salary desc) as Row_Num from Employee






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






rank() with using partition cluase
select * ,rank() over (partition by Department order by Salary desc) as [Rank] from Employee




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





dense_rank() with using partition cluase
select * ,dense_rank() over (partition by  Department order by Salary desc) as [Dense_rank] from Employee




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

How to Use Merge Statement Using XML Data

We now that merge statement in SQL SERVER. With Merge statement we can merge the data from Source table into Target table. In the Last article we have already seen about Merge Statement .   These articles we will work around merge statement over xml data type. We know that xml data type SQL SERVER. XML Data type is used to storing xml data used Bulk Insert Data into SQL Tables. Example: --Create Student Table if object_id ( 'Student' ) is null create table Student ( id int identity ( 1 , 1 ) , Name varchar ( 20 ), Marks int ) Declare Xml Data Type and Assign Some Xml Data. Declare @Data xml set @Data = '<Root> <Student> <Name>Rakesh</Name> <Marks>80</Marks> </Student> <Student> <Name>Mahesh</Name> <Marks>90</Marks> </Student> <Student> <Name>Gowtham</Name...
