I’m trying to come up with a more efficient method to do this. I have a table where people enter some info into the table.
The more entries they add the more “points” they get. (1 point per entry).
I would like to allow the users to be able to see where they stand rank wise with everyone else.
Right now I basically do a SELECT count(1) as entries, user_id GROUP BY user_id ORDER BY entries DESC.
Then loop through the results until I match their user_id and count how many times I go through the loop and that is how I can give them their ranking. It just seems like a big waste to loop through the results until I find their user_id.
I was wondering if anyone could think of a better way to do this.
Thanks, Mike
