    The document discusses different ranking functions in SQL - ROW_NUMBER(), RANK(), and DENSE_RANK(). ROW_NUMBER() assigns a unique number to each row. RANK() assigns ranks but with gaps if ranks are shared between rows. DENSE_RANK() also assigns ranks but without gaps between shared ranks like RANK(). PARTITION BY is used to rank groups of rows rather than individual rows.
