Question

I have a table:

**user**
id, name, points

Can you suggest me how to compose a query to get user place by points.

For example:

1, 'David', 5
2, 'Dmitry', 10
3, 'Monica', 15
4, 'Jeniffer', 7
5, 'Andy', 12

User ‘Monica’ has a 1st place based on points, ‘Jeniffer’ – 4th place and so on.

Thanks for advice!

EDIT

I want a query like:

SELECT rank FROM user ... WHERE id = 3;
rank |
1

SELECT rank FROM user ... WHERE id = 5;
rank |
2

Please try the below:

SELECT
   id,rank, name,point 
FROM (
    SELECT id,
        name,
        point,  
        @rank := @rank + 1 as rank        
    FROM (
      SELECT * from tblA ORDER by point desc) As a, 
    (SELECT @rank := 0) AS vars      

) T 
WHERE id=1
