Just replace the N with required number:


SELECT empid, empname, empsalary FROM emp e
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(e2.empsalary))
FROM emp e2
WHERE e2.empsalary >=
e.empsalary ) = N

ex: 4th highest

SELECT empid, empname, empsalary FROM emp e
WHERE (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(e2.empsalary))
FROM emp e2
WHERE e2.empsalary >=
e.empsalary ) = 4
