Ranking joint positions in MySQL

Question

Below is what I have

  userid score 
    1       8    
    2       5    
    3       4    
    4       4    
    5      10    
    6       3  

Answer 1

I think that you could try it using variables, which looks easier. Something like this:

SELECT userid, score, @rownum:=@rownum+1 as position
FROM fschema.mytab3 u1, (SELECT @rownum:=0) r
ORDER BY score;

(Currently I'm unable to check MySql queries, please, excuse me if there is some error)
