I need to find out rank of customers. Here I am adding the corresponding ANSI standard SQL query for my requirement. Please help me to convert it to MySQL .
SELECT RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Gender ORDER BY Age) AS [Partition by Gender],
FirstName,
Age,
Gender
FROM Person
Is there any function to find out rank in MySQL?
A tweak of Daniel's version to calculate percentile along with rank. Also two people with same marks will get the same rank.
set @totalStudents = 0;
select count(*) into @totalStudents from marksheets;
SELECT id, score, @curRank := IF(@prevVal=score, @curRank, @studentNumber) AS rank,
@percentile := IF(@prevVal=score, @percentile, (@totalStudents - @studentNumber + 1)/(@totalStudents)*100),
@studentNumber := @studentNumber + 1 as studentNumber,
@prevVal:=score
FROM marksheets, (
SELECT @curRank :=0, @prevVal:=null, @studentNumber:=1, @percentile:=100
) r
ORDER BY score DESC
Results of the query for a sample data -
+----+-------+------+---------------+---------------+-----------------+
| id | score | rank | percentile | studentNumber | @prevVal:=score |
+----+-------+------+---------------+---------------+-----------------+
| 10 | 98 | 1 | 100.000000000 | 2 | 98 |
| 5 | 95 | 2 | 90.000000000 | 3 | 95 |
| 6 | 91 | 3 | 80.000000000 | 4 | 91 |
| 2 | 91 | 3 | 80.000000000 | 5 | 91 |
| 8 | 90 | 5 | 60.000000000 | 6 | 90 |
| 1 | 90 | 5 | 60.000000000 | 7 | 90 |
| 9 | 84 | 7 | 40.000000000 | 8 | 84 |
| 3 | 83 | 8 | 30.000000000 | 9 | 83 |
| 4 | 72 | 9 | 20.000000000 | 10 | 72 |
| 7 | 60 | 10 | 10.000000000 | 11 | 60 |

Here is a generic solution that assigns dense rank over partition to rows. It uses user variables:
CREATE TABLE person (
id INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
firstname VARCHAR(10),
gender VARCHAR(1),
age INT
);
INSERT INTO person (id, firstname, gender, age) VALUES
(1, 'Adams', 'M', 33),
(2, 'Matt', 'M', 31),
(3, 'Grace', 'F', 25),
(4, 'Harry', 'M', 20),
(5, 'Scott', 'M', 30),
(6, 'Sarah', 'F', 30),
(7, 'Tony', 'M', 30),
(8, 'Lucy', 'F', 27),
(9, 'Zoe', 'F', 30),
(10, 'Megan', 'F', 26),
(11, 'Emily', 'F', 20),
(12, 'Peter', 'M', 20),
(13, 'John', 'M', 21),
(14, 'Kate', 'F', 35),
(15, 'James', 'M', 32),
(16, 'Cole', 'M', 25),
(17, 'Dennis', 'M', 27),
(18, 'Smith', 'M', 35),
(19, 'Zack', 'M', 35),
(20, 'Jill', 'F', 25);
SELECT person.*, @rank := CASE
WHEN @partval = gender AND @rankval = age THEN @rank
WHEN @partval = gender AND (@rankval := age) IS NOT NULL THEN @rank + 1
WHEN (@partval := gender) IS NOT NULL AND (@rankval := age) IS NOT NULL THEN 1
END AS rnk
FROM person, (SELECT @rank := NULL, @partval := NULL, @rankval := NULL) AS x
ORDER BY gender, age;
Notice that the variable assignments are placed inside the CASE expression. This (in theory) takes care of order of evaluation issue. The IS NOT NULL is added to handle datatype conversion and short circuiting issues.
PS: It can easily be converted to row number over partition by by removing all conditions that check for tie.
| id | firstname | gender | age | rank |
|----|-----------|--------|-----|------|
| 11 | Emily | F | 20 | 1 |
| 20 | Jill | F | 25 | 2 |
| 3 | Grace | F | 25 | 2 |
| 10 | Megan | F | 26 | 3 |
| 8 | Lucy | F | 27 | 4 |
| 6 | Sarah | F | 30 | 5 |
| 9 | Zoe | F | 30 | 5 |
| 14 | Kate | F | 35 | 6 |
| 4 | Harry | M | 20 | 1 |
| 12 | Peter | M | 20 | 1 |
| 13 | John | M | 21 | 2 |
| 16 | Cole | M | 25 | 3 |
| 17 | Dennis | M | 27 | 4 |
| 7 | Tony | M | 30 | 5 |
| 5 | Scott | M | 30 | 5 |
| 2 | Matt | M | 31 | 6 |
| 15 | James | M | 32 | 7 |
| 1 | Adams | M | 33 | 8 |
| 18 | Smith | M | 35 | 9 |
| 19 | Zack | M | 35 | 9 |
select id,first_name,gender,age,
rank() over(partition by gender order by age) rank_g
from person
CREATE TABLE person (id int, first_name varchar(20), age int, gender char(1));
INSERT INTO person VALUES (1, 'Bob', 25, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (2, 'Jane', 20, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (3, 'Jack', 30, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (4, 'Bill', 32, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (5, 'Nick', 22, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (6, 'Kathy', 18, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (7, 'Steve', 36, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (8, 'Anne', 25, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (9,'AKSH',32,'M');
The most straight forward solution to determine the rank of a given value is to count the number of values before it. Suppose we have the following values:
10 20 30 30 30 40
30 values are considered 3rd40 values are considered 6th (rank) or 4th (dense rank)Now back to the original question. Here is some sample data which is sorted as described in OP (expected ranks are added on the right):
+------+-----------+------+--------+ +------+------------+
| id | firstname | age | gender | | rank | dense_rank |
+------+-----------+------+--------+ +------+------------+
| 11 | Emily | 20 | F | | 1 | 1 |
| 3 | Grace | 25 | F | | 2 | 2 |
| 20 | Jill | 25 | F | | 2 | 2 |
| 10 | Megan | 26 | F | | 4 | 3 |
| 8 | Lucy | 27 | F | | 5 | 4 |
| 6 | Sarah | 30 | F | | 6 | 5 |
| 9 | Zoe | 30 | F | | 6 | 5 |
| 14 | Kate | 35 | F | | 8 | 6 |
| 4 | Harry | 20 | M | | 1 | 1 |
| 12 | Peter | 20 | M | | 1 | 1 |
| 13 | John | 21 | M | | 3 | 2 |
| 16 | Cole | 25 | M | | 4 | 3 |
| 17 | Dennis | 27 | M | | 5 | 4 |
| 5 | Scott | 30 | M | | 6 | 5 |
| 7 | Tony | 30 | M | | 6 | 5 |
| 2 | Matt | 31 | M | | 8 | 6 |
| 15 | James | 32 | M | | 9 | 7 |
| 1 | Adams | 33 | M | | 10 | 8 |
| 18 | Smith | 35 | M | | 11 | 9 |
| 19 | Zack | 35 | M | | 11 | 9 |
+------+-----------+------+--------+ +------+------------+
To calculate RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Gender ORDER BY Age) for Sarah, you can use this query:
SELECT COUNT(id) + 1 AS rank, COUNT(DISTINCT age) + 1 AS dense_rank
FROM testdata
WHERE gender = (SELECT gender FROM testdata WHERE id = 6)
AND age < (SELECT age FROM testdata WHERE id = 6)
+------+------------+
| rank | dense_rank |
+------+------------+
| 6 | 5 |
+------+------------+
To calculate RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Gender ORDER BY Age) for All rows you can use this query:
SELECT testdata.id, COUNT(lesser.id) + 1 AS rank, COUNT(DISTINCT lesser.age) + 1 AS dense_rank
FROM testdata
LEFT JOIN testdata AS lesser ON lesser.age < testdata.age AND lesser.gender = testdata.gender
GROUP BY testdata.id
And here is the result (joined values are added on right):
+------+------+------------+ +-----------+-----+--------+
| id | rank | dense_rank | | firstname | age | gender |
+------+------+------------+ +-----------+-----+--------+
| 11 | 1 | 1 | | Emily | 20 | F |
| 3 | 2 | 2 | | Grace | 25 | F |
| 20 | 2 | 2 | | Jill | 25 | F |
| 10 | 4 | 3 | | Megan | 26 | F |
| 8 | 5 | 4 | | Lucy | 27 | F |
| 6 | 6 | 5 | | Sarah | 30 | F |
| 9 | 6 | 5 | | Zoe | 30 | F |
| 14 | 8 | 6 | | Kate | 35 | F |
| 4 | 1 | 1 | | Harry | 20 | M |
| 12 | 1 | 1 | | Peter | 20 | M |
| 13 | 3 | 2 | | John | 21 | M |
| 16 | 4 | 3 | | Cole | 25 | M |
| 17 | 5 | 4 | | Dennis | 27 | M |
| 5 | 6 | 5 | | Scott | 30 | M |
| 7 | 6 | 5 | | Tony | 30 | M |
| 2 | 8 | 6 | | Matt | 31 | M |
| 15 | 9 | 7 | | James | 32 | M |
| 1 | 10 | 8 | | Adams | 33 | M |
| 18 | 11 | 9 | | Smith | 35 | M |
| 19 | 11 | 9 | | Zack | 35 | M |
+------+------+------------+ +-----------+-----+--------+
Combination of Daniel's and Salman's answer. However the rank will not give as continues sequence with ties exists . Instead it skips the rank to next. So maximum always reach row count.
SELECT first_name,
age,
gender,
IF(age=@_last_age,@curRank:=@curRank,@curRank:=@_sequence) AS rank,
@_sequence:=@_sequence+1,@_last_age:=age
FROM person p, (SELECT @curRank := 1, @_sequence:=1, @_last_age:=0) r
ORDER BY age;
Schema and Test Case:
CREATE TABLE person (id int, first_name varchar(20), age int, gender char(1));
INSERT INTO person VALUES (1, 'Bob', 25, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (2, 'Jane', 20, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (3, 'Jack', 30, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (4, 'Bill', 32, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (5, 'Nick', 22, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (6, 'Kathy', 18, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (7, 'Steve', 36, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (8, 'Anne', 25, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (9, 'Kamal', 25, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (10, 'Saman', 32, 'M');
Output:
+------------+------+--------+------+--------------------------+-----------------+
| first_name | age | gender | rank | @_sequence:=@_sequence+1 | @_last_age:=age |
+------------+------+--------+------+--------------------------+-----------------+
| Kathy | 18 | F | 1 | 2 | 18 |
| Jane | 20 | F | 2 | 3 | 20 |
| Nick | 22 | M | 3 | 4 | 22 |
| Kamal | 25 | M | 4 | 5 | 25 |
| Anne | 25 | F | 4 | 6 | 25 |
| Bob | 25 | M | 4 | 7 | 25 |
| Jack | 30 | M | 7 | 8 | 30 |
| Bill | 32 | M | 8 | 9 | 32 |
| Saman | 32 | M | 8 | 10 | 32 |
| Steve | 36 | M | 10 | 11 | 36 |
+------------+------+--------+------+--------------------------+-----------------+
If you want to rank just one person you can do the following:
SELECT COUNT(Age) + 1
FROM PERSON
WHERE(Age < age_to_rank)
This ranking corresponds to the oracle RANK function (Where if you have people with the same age they get the same rank, and the ranking after that is non-consecutive).
It's a little bit faster than using one of the above solutions in a subquery and selecting from that to get the ranking of one person.
This can be used to rank everyone but it's slower than the above solutions.
SELECT
Age AS age_var,
(
SELECT COUNT(Age) + 1
FROM Person
WHERE (Age < age_var)
) AS rank
FROM Person
While the most upvoted answer ranks, it doesn't partition, You can do a self Join to get the whole thing partitioned also:
SELECT a.first_name,
a.age,
a.gender,
count(b.age)+1 as rank
FROM person a left join person b on a.age>b.age and a.gender=b.gender
group by a.first_name,
a.age,
a.gender
Use Case
CREATE TABLE person (id int, first_name varchar(20), age int, gender char(1));
INSERT INTO person VALUES (1, 'Bob', 25, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (2, 'Jane', 20, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (3, 'Jack', 30, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (4, 'Bill', 32, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (5, 'Nick', 22, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (6, 'Kathy', 18, 'F');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (7, 'Steve', 36, 'M');
INSERT INTO person VALUES (8, 'Anne', 25, 'F');
Answer:
Bill 32 M 4
Bob 25 M 2
Jack 30 M 3
Nick 22 M 1
Steve 36 M 5
Anne 25 F 3
Jane 20 F 2
Kathy 18 F 1
To avoid the "however" in Erandac's answer in combination of Daniel's and Salman's answers, one may use one of the following "partition workarounds"
SELECT customerID, myDate
-- partition ranking works only with CTE / from MySQL 8.0 on
, RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY customerID ORDER BY dateFrom) AS rank,
-- Erandac's method in combination of Daniel's and Salman's
-- count all items in sequence, maximum reaches row count.
, IF(customerID=@_lastRank, @_curRank:=@_curRank, @_curRank:=@_sequence+1) AS sequenceRank
, @_sequence:=@_sequence+1 as sequenceOverAll
-- Dense partition ranking, works also with MySQL 5.7
-- remember to set offset values in from clause
, IF(customerID=@_lastRank, @_nxtRank:=@_nxtRank, @_nxtRank:=@_nxtRank+1 ) AS partitionRank
, IF(customerID=@_lastRank, @_overPart:=@_overPart+1, @_overPart:=1 ) AS partitionSequence
, @_lastRank:=customerID
FROM myCustomers,
(SELECT @_curRank:=0, @_sequence:=0, @_lastRank:=0, @_nxtRank:=0, @_overPart:=0 ) r
ORDER BY customerID, myDate
The partition ranking in the 3rd variant in this code snippet will return continous ranking numbers. this will lead to a data structur similar to the rank() over partition by result. As an example, see below. In particular, the partitionSequence will always start with 1 for each new partitionRank, using this method:
customerID myDate sequenceRank (Erandac)
| sequenceOverAll
| | partitionRank
| | | partitionSequence
| | | | lastRank

Starting with MySQL 8, you can finally use window functions also in MySQL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/window-functions.html
Your query can be written exactly the same way:
SELECT RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY Gender ORDER BY Age) AS `Partition by Gender`,
FirstName,
Age,
Gender
FROM Person
@Sam, your point is excellent in concept but I think you misunderstood what the MySQL docs are saying on the referenced page -- or I misunderstand :-) -- and I just wanted to add this so that if someone feels uncomfortable with the @Daniel's answer they'll be more reassured or at least dig a little deeper.
You see the "@curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank" inside the SELECT is not "one statement", it's one "atomic" part of the statement so it should be safe.
The document you reference goes on to show examples where the same user-defined variable in 2 (atomic) parts of the statement, for example, "SELECT @curRank, @curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank".
One might argue that @curRank is used twice in @Daniel's answer: (1) the "@curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank" and (2) the "(SELECT @curRank := 0) r" but since the second usage is part of the FROM clause, I'm pretty sure it is guaranteed to be evaluated first; essentially making it a second, and preceding, statement.
In fact, on that same MySQL docs page you referenced, you'll see the same solution in the comments -- it could be where @Daniel got it from; yeah, I know that it's the comments but it is comments on the official docs page and that does carry some weight.
