First of all thanks Tim and Pavel for replying to my query.

So I guess the inline view (adding empname and empno columns) is the final output that I require. So to join this output with original table would be an extra activity. Also, count(*) +1 approach for ranking is time consuming as it iterates over entire table for each row, so using the same in inline view may not help to increase speed. > > I have used following query but it takes more than one hour even after > > indexing, > > Shouldn't be - query is not so hard if a proper index used.

I have used following index. create index tempidx on EMPLOYEES(DEPTNO, SAL); I have tried query, using count(*) +1 approach, in mysql but it was slower (>two hours, still query was running) than Sqlite. Is there is any other possible way to find out rank?
