I am joining to a table where I need the latest tier code. In oracle, we have analytical functions such as rank, lead etc. Is there such a function in sql server.

select a.ID, b.tier_code (get the oldest tier code here)
from table_a, table_b
where a.ID = b.ID

Can this be achieved without using a group by? what is the best way to achieve this?

thanks

You have RANK(), DENSE_RANK(), NTILE(), ROW_NUMBER() in SQL Server.
