Answer / prashant srivastava

**Exact answer to the question**

SELECT MIN(e1.Salary) FROM emp e1 WHERE e1.Salary IN
(Select e2.Salary from emp e2 ORDER BY e2.Salary DESC FETCH
FIRST 2 ROWS ONLY)

**Generic Solution**

SELECT MIN(e1.Salary) FROM emp e1 WHERE e1.Salary IN
(Select e2.Salary from emp e2 ORDER BY e2.Salary DESC FETCH
FIRST n ROWS ONLY)

Just replace n as the asked rank of the salary. For instance

If 29th highest salary is asked then replace n with 29..
simple...isn't it? :):)
