The DENSE_RANK function computes the rank of a row in an
ordered group of rows.Rows with equal values for the
ranking criteria receive the same rank.
For eg.
To Show the set of sales people who make the top 3
salaries - that is, find the set of distinct salary
amounts, sort them, take the largest three, and give me
everyone who makes one of those values.
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT deptno, ename, sal,
DENSE_RANK()
OVER (
PARTITION BY deptno ORDER BY sal desc
) TopN FROM emp
)
WHERE TopN <= 3
ORDER BY deptno, sal DESC
/
DEPTNO ENAME SAL TOPN
---------- ---------- ---------- ----------
10 KING 5000 1
CLARK 2450 2
MILLER 1300 3
20 SCOTT 3000 1 <--- ! (in
case of rank

FORD 3000 1 <--- !
