What is the function in Transformer stage can act as Rank
Function in oracle

Answer Posted / nish

answer:

there is no function equivalent to that.

Rank is mostly used as an analytic/aggregating function in oracle and takes 2 columns for arguments.

Transformer stage performs transforming operations for later analysis ,doesnt directly perform analytic functions.

The closest stage would be an sort- aggregator stage for RANK.

Please remember that not all interview questions have a definitive answer.
This one tests confidence of how much you really used transformer stage.
