If you notice the ranking is not consecutive with the use of the RANK function; that is because the RANK function ranks records of the result-set sequentially starting from 1. When it finds a tie it assigns the same rank to the all the records in the tie, but still keeps incrementing the record counter so the next record will get a new rank which would be (previous rank + no of records in the current tie + 1) .

an impossiblity, something unattainable, something that cannot be reached..ever. if something were perfect, then that would mean that they were differnt from everyone else, making them differnt, making them imperfect. by lost soul March 23, 2005.
