Answer / vaibhav
SELECT Sal
FROM (Select Sal from Emp_Salary order by Sal desc)
WHERE rownum < =2;
Above query will fetch two rows. First row is the max salary
and second row second max.
IF we only need to find second max, then
SELECT Min(Sal)
FROM (Select Sal from Emp_Salary order by Sal desc)
WHERE rownum < =2;
