I have a table like this
x
id, period, tag
1 1 A
1 2 A
1 3 B
1 4 A
1 5 A
1 6 A
2 1 A
2 2 B
2 3 B
2 4 B
2 5 B
2 6 A
I would like to add a new column with a ranking, respecting the order of the row given my column ‘period’ to obtain something like this
id, period, tag rank
1 1 A 1
1 2 A 1
1 3 B 2
1 4 A 3
1 5 A 3
1 6 A 3
2 1 A 1
2 2 B 2
2 3 B 2
2 4 B 2
2 5 B 2
2 6 A 3
What can I do?
I try rank and dense_rank function without any success

And another candidate for CONDITIONAL_CHANGE_EVENT() less code, and quite effective, too …!
WITH
input(id,period,tag) AS (
SELECT 1,1,'A'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,2,'A'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,3,'B'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,4,'A'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,5,'A'
UNION ALL SELECT 1,6,'A'
UNION ALL SELECT 2,1,'A'
UNION ALL SELECT 2,2,'B'
UNION ALL SELECT 2,3,'B'
UNION ALL SELECT 2,4,'B'
UNION ALL SELECT 2,5,'B'
UNION ALL SELECT 2,6,'A'
)
SELECT
*
, CONDITIONAL_CHANGE_EVENT(tag) OVER(PARTITION BY id ORDER BY period) + 1 AS rank
FROM input;
-- out id | period | tag | rank
-- out ----+--------+-----+------
-- out 1 | 1 | A | 1
-- out 1 | 2 | A | 1
-- out 1 | 3 | B | 2
-- out 1 | 4 | A | 3
-- out 1 | 5 | A | 3
