SQL Server 2005 and 2008 Ranking Functions - DENSE_RANK and NTILE
SQL Server introduced four new ranking functions either to rank records in a result-set or to rank records within groups of records of a result-set. With these new functions, we are no longer required to write several lines of code to get ranking data. It does not only help in simplifying the query but also improves the performance of the query. So now the questions are: what are these ranking functions, how they work and how they differ from each others? This article talks about DENSE_RANK and NTILE in detail, click here for more details.
