Cheers, -- BG, SQL Server MVP www.SolidQualityLearning.com www.insidetsql.com Anything written in this message represents my view, my own view, and nothing but my view (WITH SCHEMABINDING), so help me my T-SQL code. Not the first time I post to the wrong group, I'm afraid. <blush>
I know this looks like self-promotion, but honestly I meant to send this in a private newsgroup and didn't notice I was posting in the wrong place.

In the thread:
microsoft.public.sqlserver.programming Wednesday, September 13, 2006 Need Consecutive Query markc***@hotmail.com showed a brilliant way to get atleast really close to a DENSE_RANK() where column(s) don't exist to get it directly. I'll eat some crow because I didn't think it was possible to do this so easily. It's not quite Rac but it's really close :( :). Although my point remains a dense rank should be obtainable directly:) best, http://racster.blogspot.com |
