Answer Posted / rathi
If we had a table named Employee which had a column named
Salary and we had to find the second highest Salary in the
Employee table, the query for the same would be:
SELECT TOP 1 Salary FROM (SELECT TOP 2 Salary FROM Employee
ORDER BY Salary DESC) AS E ORDER BY Salary ASC
The subquery or the inner query would return the top 2 rows
in descending Salary order which would be:
5000
4000
The outer query would then select the top 1 row from the
subquery results in ascending Salary order which would be:
4000
