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?
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
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 |
+------+------+------------+ +-----------+-----+--------+
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

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');
SELECT FirstName,Age,Gender, RANK() OVER (partition by Gender order by Age desc) AS 'Partition by Gender' FROM Person
In a tweak to Daniel's answer, Some MySQL Versions throw errors at the IF statement
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;
So I had to wrap the IF condition testing in Ranking with braces
This anly calculates ranking but not Dense_rank
