Uppdatera rankningen i en MySQL-tabell

Ett alternativ är att använda en rankningsvariabel, till exempel följande:

UPDATE   player
JOIN     (SELECT    p.playerID,
                    @curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank
          FROM      player p
          JOIN      (SELECT @curRank := 0) r
          ORDER BY  p.points DESC
         ) ranks ON (ranks.playerID = player.playerID)
SET      player.rank = ranks.rank;

JOIN (SELECT @curRank := 0) del tillåter variabelinitiering utan att kräva en separat SET kommando.

Testfall:

CREATE TABLE player (
   playerID int,
   points int,
   rank int
);

INSERT INTO player VALUES (1, 150, NULL);
INSERT INTO player VALUES (2, 100, NULL);
INSERT INTO player VALUES (3, 250, NULL);
INSERT INTO player VALUES (4, 200, NULL);
INSERT INTO player VALUES (5, 175, NULL);

UPDATE   player
JOIN     (SELECT    p.playerID,
                    @curRank := @curRank + 1 AS rank
          FROM      player p
          JOIN      (SELECT @curRank := 0) r
          ORDER BY  p.points DESC
         ) ranks ON (ranks.playerID = player.playerID)
SET      player.rank = ranks.rank;

Resultat:

SELECT * FROM player ORDER BY rank;

+----------+--------+------+
| playerID | points | rank |
+----------+--------+------+
|        3 |    250 |    1 |
|        4 |    200 |    2 |
|        5 |    175 |    3 |
|        1 |    150 |    4 |
|        2 |    100 |    5 |
+----------+--------+------+

UPPDATERING: Lade precis märke till att du behöver slipsar för att dela samma rang. Detta är lite knepigt, men kan lösas med ännu fler variabler:

UPDATE   player
JOIN     (SELECT    p.playerID,
                    IF(@lastPoint <> p.points, 
                       @curRank := @curRank + 1, 
                       @curRank)  AS rank,
                    @lastPoint := p.points
          FROM      player p
          JOIN      (SELECT @curRank := 0, @lastPoint := 0) r
          ORDER BY  p.points DESC
         ) ranks ON (ranks.playerID = player.playerID)
SET      player.rank = ranks.rank;

För ett testfall, låt oss lägga till ytterligare en spelare med 175 poäng:

INSERT INTO player VALUES (6, 175, NULL);

Resultat:

SELECT * FROM player ORDER BY rank;

+----------+--------+------+
| playerID | points | rank |
+----------+--------+------+
|        3 |    250 |    1 |
|        4 |    200 |    2 |
|        5 |    175 |    3 |
|        6 |    175 |    3 |
|        1 |    150 |    4 |
|        2 |    100 |    5 |
+----------+--------+------+
6 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Och om du kräver att rangen hoppar över en plats vid oavgjort, kan du lägga till en annan IF skick:

UPDATE   player
JOIN     (SELECT    p.playerID,
                    IF(@lastPoint <> p.points, 
                       @curRank := @curRank + 1, 
                       @curRank)  AS rank,
                    IF(@lastPoint = p.points, 
                       @curRank := @curRank + 1, 
                       @curRank),
                    @lastPoint := p.points
          FROM      player p
          JOIN      (SELECT @curRank := 0, @lastPoint := 0) r
          ORDER BY  p.points DESC
         ) ranks ON (ranks.playerID = player.playerID)
SET      player.rank = ranks.rank;

Resultat:

SELECT * FROM player ORDER BY rank;

+----------+--------+------+
| playerID | points | rank |
+----------+--------+------+
|        3 |    250 |    1 |
|        4 |    200 |    2 |
|        5 |    175 |    3 |
|        6 |    175 |    3 |
|        1 |    150 |    5 |
|        2 |    100 |    6 |
