**Video: Window Functions Challenge Introduction**

This short video introduces the challenge of using SQL window functions to analyze employee sales data. You will see how the `SUM()` OVER() and `RANK()` window functions can be used together to calculate each employee's total sales and their ranking among all employees based on those totals.

In this challenge, you will put your understanding of **window functions** into practice. You are provided with a database containing `employees` and their `sales`. Your goal is to write a SQL query that calculates each employee's total sales and their rank among all employees based on these totals. 

You should use the `SUM()` window function to compute the total sales for each employee, and the `RANK()` window function to assign a rank, where the employee with the highest total sales is ranked 1. Both calculations should be performed in a single query, and the results should include each employee's ID, name, total sales, and rank.
