create an incremental counter in the stored procedure

Hello, I have a following SP
I want to add an extra field "ranking" that just increments the row number.
Another feature would be: if several users have an equal totalvalue, they
should have an equal ranking number. the rankings following users would have
to be adjusted as well. thanks

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS OFF
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[Rankings]
@.iErrorCode int OUTPUT
AS

SELECT top 30
###COUNTER##,
[user],
[totalvalue], [cash], [stocksvalue]

FROM [dbo].[users]
ORDER BY totalvalue DESC

SELECT @.iErrorCode=@.@.ERROR

GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER OFF
GO
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GOThere is more than one way to rank a set with tied values.

CREATE TABLE Users (userid INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, totalvalue NUMERIC(10,2) NOT
NULL, cash NUMERIC(10,2) NOT NULL, stocksvalue NUMERIC(10,2) NOT NULL)

INSERT INTO Users VALUES (101,1010,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (102,2020,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (103,3030,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (104,3030,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (105,1002,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (106,1002,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (107,1002,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (108,1002,100,99)
INSERT INTO Users VALUES (109,1000,100,99)

See if this gives the result you expect:

SELECT COUNT(U2.totalvalue)+1 AS ranking,
U1.userid, U1.totalvalue, U1.cash, U1.stocksvalue
FROM Users AS U1
LEFT JOIN Users AS U2
ON U1.totalvalue < U2.totalvalue
GROUP BY U1.userid, U1.totalvalue, U1.cash, U1.stocksvalue
ORDER BY ranking, U1.userid

Result:

ranking userid totalvalue cash stocksvalue
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
1 103 3030.00 100.00 99.00
1 104 3030.00 100.00 99.00
3 102 2020.00 100.00 99.00
4 101 1010.00 100.00 99.00
5 105 1002.00 100.00 99.00
5 106 1002.00 100.00 99.00
5 107 1002.00 100.00 99.00
5 108 1002.00 100.00 99.00
9 109 1000.00 100.00 99.00

(9 row(s) affected)

Or maybe this:

SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT U2.totalvalue) AS ranking,
U1.userid, U1.totalvalue, U1.cash, U1.stocksvalue
FROM Users AS U1
LEFT JOIN Users AS U2
ON U1.totalvalue <= U2.totalvalue
GROUP BY U1.userid, U1.totalvalue, U1.cash, U1.stocksvalue
ORDER BY ranking, U1.userid

Result:

ranking userid totalvalue cash stocksvalue
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
1 103 3030.00 100.00 99.00
1 104 3030.00 100.00 99.00
2 102 2020.00 100.00 99.00
3 101 1010.00 100.00 99.00
4 105 1002.00 100.00 99.00
4 106 1002.00 100.00 99.00
4 107 1002.00 100.00 99.00
4 108 1002.00 100.00 99.00
5 109 1000.00 100.00 99.00

Create a string from report parameters, return checksum

Hi,
We want to add an extra checksum parameter to our RS report, and make the
report work only if the correct checksum is entered/passed based on all the
other parameter fields, as a simple security check when rendering reports
from a system with its own security system (users not in AD/domains).
1. How do I construct a stored procedure that creates a string consisting of
all but the last parameter and returns a checksum ? (checksums we know how to
create from strings)
2. How do I filter my report based on that ?
"where ... and @.checksum = checksum_proc.checksum" ?
Report and parameters ex.
report1: product_string, checksum
report2: customer_string, department_string, date_string, checksum
Or is there a better way ?

Here is another option you might want to consider. You might want to
have a report parameter that has a string datatype and is used as a
password. You might pass the password entered by the user back to the
stored procedure and if the password matches one in a list somewhere
(table, etc) you send the complete dataset back to the report;
otherwise, you send back no data or a single line of all nulls or a
text message of "you do not have correct permissions to access this
report" to the report. Also, to enforce security, you might create the
stored procedure using "with encryption" that way noone can look at
the logic -or- you could add a certain number of characters to the
true password in a table and just remove them when you do the table
lookup for the passwords. Hope this is helpful.

The report must be started with a URL (cant render reports from our system)
and should only be allowed for a certain combinations of parameters set by
our program, ex product 100 with department A. The user must not seconds
later go to the reportserver and manually enter product 100 with department B
with the same password.
If using a "one-time" password parameter, will this mean we should store all
parameters in a table as well ? If we delete the stored password in the
procedure, is it possible for the user to re-render the report to Excel etc
?
A last checksum question: Is there a function to be used in a stored
procedure that gets current report's parameter 1, 2 ... ?

the rules (see thread: "Am I crazy or is there no form validation" in this
forum). I'm not arguing with you, just wondering what you think is the best
strategy here.
IAC, if I were faced with your requirement, I would probably have the users
submit their reporting URL to a small proxy web application that did the
validation you require against the user's credentials, etc. If the tests
passed (whatever they are) then the proxy would submit the request to the
report server and return the server's response.
By "small" I mean that you could probably get away with a simple APX page
for this, and in addition you would have the ability to return whatever type
of user feedback you wanted if the tests failed.

Counter column in the result of SELECT statement

Hi,
I need to have an extra column in my SELECT's result that counts from 1 to
the end of result.
I think I can do it in reporting softwares such as crystal report, but I
want to do this in query analyzer with the SELECT statement, something like
this:
Counter CustomerID Country
--
1 ALFKI Germany
2 ANATR Mexico
3 ANTON Mexico
4 AROUT UK
5 BERGS Sweden
...
