how to check the 3rd max salary from an employee table? One
of the queries used is as follows:
select sal from emp a where 3=(select
count(distinct(sal)) from emp b
where a.sal<=b.sal).
Here in the sub query "select
count(distinct(sal)) from emp b
where a.sal<=b.sal" or
"select count(distinct(sal)) from emp b
where a.sal=b.sal" should reveal the same number of rows is
in't it? Can any one here please explain me how is this
query working perfectly.
However, there is another query to get the 3rd highest of
salaries of employees that logic I can understand. Pls find
the query below.
"select min(salary) from emp where salary in(select
distinct
top 3 salary from
emp order by salary desc)"
Please explain me how
"select sal from emp a where 3=(select
count(distinct(sal)) from emp b
where a.sal<=b.sal)" works
