Hi Inayat,

Please use following:

SQL

--Table creation
CREATE TABLE Employee
(Name VARCHAR(10), 
Age INT, 
Salary INT)

--Inserting entries
insert into Employee
select 'Haidarali',29,29000 union all
select 'Rashidali',2,20000 union all
select 'Imdadhusen',28,50000 union all
select 'Abbas',25,58000

--ordering entry by rank
SELECT RANK() OVER(ORDER BY Salary DESC) AS Rank,* FROM dbo.Employee;

Please do let me know, if you have any doubt.

Please provide "Vote":thumbsup: if this would be helpful, and make "Accept Answer" if this would be correct answer.:rose:

Solution 1

A RANK will help you to do the same.

SELECT EMP_NO, EMP_NAME, SALARY,
       RANK() OVER (ORDER BY SALARY DESC) AS Highest
FROM TABLENAME
ORDER BY EMP_NO
