Hello,

I have 2 tables with user infos (please see \d output at the bottom)
and would like to find their rank depending on their "money".

When I select all records, the rank() works fine:

pref=> select u.first_name,
u.city,
m.money,
rank() over (order by money desc)
from pref_users u, pref_money m where
m.yw=to_char(current_timestamp, 'YYYY-IW') and
u.id=m.id;
          first_name          |              city               | money | rank

.....................

But when I try to select a single record, then I always get the rank 1:

pref=> select u.id,
u.first_name,
u.city,
m.money,
rank() over (order by money desc)
from pref_users u, pref_money m where
m.yw=to_char(current_timestamp, 'YYYY-IW') and
u.id=m.id and u.id='OK138239987797';
       id       | first_name |    city     | money | rank
----------------+------------+-------------+-------+------
 OK138239987797 | Иван       | Новосибирск |   468 |    1
(1 row)

(I guess because my "window" is 1 row only)

Please give me a hint how to select just 1 record
and still find it's correct rank compared to other.

Or do I have to introduce a 3rd table holding ranks
and update it by a cronjob?

Regards
Alex

P.S. the 2 tables are:




ince the rank is only appropriate over a given set I think you'll have to take a sub-select approach:

select * from (

select u.id,
u.first_name,
u.city,
m.money,
rank() over (order by money desc)
from pref_users u, pref_money m where
m.yw=to_char(current_timestamp, 'YYYY-IW')) all_ranks ar
where ar.id='OK138239987797'
