How to find the second highest salary?
EMPLOYEE table has fields EMP_ID and SALARY how do you find the second highest salary?
Solution:
We can write a sub-query to achieve the result
SELECT MAX(SALARY)
FROM EMPLOYEE
WHERE SALARY NOT IN (SELECT MAX(SALARY) FROM EMPLOYEE)
The first sub-query
[SELECT MAX(SALARY) FROM EMPLOYEE] in the WHERE clause will return the MAX SALARY in the table and the main query SELECT’s the MAX SALARY from the results which doesn’t have the highest SALARY.
