Master SQL for Data Analysis - Ranking

The video tutorial explains how to partition rows and assign sequential numbers. It addresses the issue of ranking rows with duplicate values and introduces the rank function as a solution. The rank function assigns ranks within partitions and handles duplicate values by skipping rank numbers. An example demonstrates the syntax and usage of the rank function.

In what scenario would you prefer to use the rank function over the row number function?

Can you provide an example of how to implement the rank function in a SQL query?
