与rownum的区别在于：使用rownum进行排序的时候是先对结果集加入伪列rownum然后再进行排序，而此函数在包含排序从句后是先排序再计算行号码．
row_number()和rownum差不多，功能更强一点（可以在各个分组内从1开时排序）．
rank()是跳跃排序，有两个第二名时接下来就是第四名（同样是在各个分组内）．
dense_rank()l是连续排序，有两个第二名时仍然跟着第三名。相比之下row_number是没有重复值的 ．
lag（arg1,arg2,arg3):
arg1是从其他行返回的表达式 arg2是希望检索的当前行分区的偏移量。是一个正的偏移量，时一个往回检索以前的行的数目。 arg3是在arg2表示的数目超出了分组的范围时返回的值。看几个SQL语句:
语句一:
select row_number() over(order by sale/cnt desc) as sort, sale/cnt
from (select -60 as sale,3 as cnt from dual union select 24 as sale,6 as cnt from dual union select 50 as sale,5 as cnt from dual union select -20 as sale,2 as cnt from dual union select 40 as sale,8 as cnt from dual);执行结果:
SORT SALE/CNT
---------- ---------- 1 10 2 5 3 4 4 -10 5 -20语句二:查询员工的工资,按部门排序
select ename,sal,row_number() over (partition by deptno order by sal desc) as sal_order from scott.emp;
执行结果:
ENAME SAL SAL_ORDER
-------------------- ---------- ----------KING 5000 1CLARK 2450 2MILLER 1300 3SCOTT 3000 1FORD 3000 2JONES 2975 3ADAMS 1100 4SMITH 800 5BLAKE 2850 1ALLEN 1600 2TURNER 1500 3WARD 1250 4MARTIN 1250 5JAMES 950 6已选择14行。
语句三:查询每个部门的最高工资
select deptno,ename,sal from
(select deptno,ename,sal,row_number() over (partition by deptno order by sal desc) as sal_order from scott.emp) where sal_order <2;执行结果:
DEPTNO ENAME SAL
---------- -------------------- ---------- 10 KING 5000 20 SCOTT 3000 30 BLAKE 2850已选择3行。
语句四：
select deptno,sal,rank() over (partition by deptno order by sal) as rank_order from scott.emp order by deptno;
执行结果:
DEPTNO SAL RANK_ORDER
---------- ---------- ---------- 10 1300 1 10 2450 2 10 5000 3 20 800 1 20 1100 2 20 2975 3 20 3000 4 20 3000 4 30 950 1 30 1250 2 30 1250 2 30 1500 4 30 1600 5 30 2850 6已选择14行。
语句五：
select deptno,sal,dense_rank() over(partition by deptno order by sal) as dense_rank_order from scott.emp order by deptn;执行结果：
DEPTNO SAL DENSE_RANK_ORDER
---------- ---------- ---------------- 10 1300 1 10 2450 2 10 5000 3 20 800 1 20 1100 2 20 2975 3 20 3000 4 20 3000 4 30 950 1 30 1250 2 30 1250 2 30 1500 3 30 1600 4 30 2850 5已选择14行。
语句六：
select deptno,ename,sal,lag(ename,1,null) over(partition by deptno order by ename) as lag_ from scott.emp order by deptno;
执行结果：
