Answer / sridhar
Its real simple. Suppose your employees are in a table
called by the same name, and the salaries in a column named
salaries). Lets See te case in which we want the 3 greatest
salaries. Then you Query:
SELECT employees.salary
FROM employees
ORDER BY employees.salary desc
LIMIT 3;
If you want the biggest 5 salaries, you put LIMIT 5, and so on….
