RANK

Applies to ✅ Open Source Edition   ✅ Express Edition   ✅ Professional Edition   ✅ Enterprise Edition

The RANK() hypothetical set function calculates the rank with gaps of the hypothetical value, i.e. ranks will be 1, 1, 1, 4, 5, 5, 7 (DENSE_RANK produces values without gaps, e.g. 1, 1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4)

SELECT
  rank(0) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY AUTHOR_ID),
  rank(1) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY AUTHOR_ID),
  rank(2) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY AUTHOR_ID)
FROM BOOK
create.select(
         rank(val(0)).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID),
         rank(val(2)).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID),
         rank(val(4)).withinGroupOrderBy(BOOK.AUTHOR_ID))
      .from(BOOK)

Producing:

+---------+---------+---------+
| rank(0) | rank(1) | rank(2) |
+---------+---------+---------+
|       1 |       1 |       3 |
+---------+---------+---------+
