need to consider timestamp difference while calculating rank

need helpin code to compare createddate between records and while ranking 5 seconds timestamp difference need to be ignored

ex : 16:50:40 and 16:50:41 and 16:50:42 should have same rank

Welcome to the forum.
Please read the OraFAQ Forum Guide and How to use [code] tags and make your code easier to read.
Indent the code, use code tags and align the columns in result.

Also always post your Oracle version, with 4 decimals (query v$version), as often solution depends on it.

With any SQL or PL/SQL question, please, Post a working Test case: create table (including all constraints) and insert statements along with the result you want with these data then we will be able work with your table and data. Explain with words and sentences the rules that lead to this result.

So rank by date truncated to 5 seconds.

WITH DATES AS (
               SELECT  SYSDATE + LEVEL / 24 / 60 / 60 DT
                 FROM  DUAL
                 CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 20
              )
SELECT  TO_CHAR(DT,'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS') DT,
        DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY DT - MOD((DT - TRUNC(DT)) * 24 * 60 * 60,5) / 24 / 60 / 60) RNK
  FROM  DATES
  ORDER BY DATES.DT
/
