Hi every body,

I give the standard format Query for this type of top most
and who are the top n people in the organization like that

If we take EMP table

Select * from EMP A where &n= (select count (distinct
(sal)) from EMP B where B.sal>A.sal)

If we give n value 1 or 2 or 3….etc then we gets top one,
top second, and top third person details.

This same query can we use top n people who are earning
maximum salaries in the Organization

Select * from EMP A where &n> (select count (distinct
(sal)) from EMP B where B.sal>A.sal)
