Easy

The events table tracks every time a user performs a certain action (like, post_enter, etc.) on a platform.

Write a query to determine the top 5 actions performed during the week of Thanksgiving (11/22/2020 - 11/28/2020), and rank them based on number of times performed.

The output should include the action performed and their rank in ascending order. If two actions were performed equally, they should have the same rank. 

Example:

Input:

events table

Column type
user_id INTEGER
created_at DATETIME
action VARCHAR
platform VARCHAR

Output:

Column Type
action VARCHAR
ranks INTEGER
