Answer / prakash.matte

if we want to make use of nested query instead of the above,
try the following

select max(column_name) from table_name where column_name =
(select
max(column_name)-(highest_salary_number_for_calculation -1)
from blocks where bid);

Example :

For second highest salary:

select max(bid) from blocks where bid = (select max(bid)-1
from blocks);

For third highest salary:

select max(bid) from blocks where bid = (select max(bid)-2
from blocks);
