Learning from the past, and moving toward the future
Suppose, we have a tie at the third position and there are 2 records with the same value then RANK() and DENSE_RANK() both the functions will place both the records in the third position only, but RANK() will have the next record at the fifth position (leaving a gap of 1 position) whereas the DENSE_RANK() function will have the next record at the forth position itself (no gap).
The easiest way to understand is by having an example, so consider the following data set:
1 2 2 4
RANK() would return the following rank:
1 2 2 4
DENSE_RANK() would return the following rank:
1 2 2 3

There was something different with the search result when I was Google-ing. That’s right, Google has just made some changes with their appearance! I don’t know whether that I’m so used with the old appearance, but I think that it’s a bit odd. This new looks hold my eyes off from the search results for a while, and I thought it’s a bit heavier than usual. I also noticed that this new looks only appeared when I googled using Firefox.
The great successful men of the world have used their imaginations. They think ahead and create their mental picture, and then go to work materializing that picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this bit and that bit, but steadily building, steadily building
