Answer / nilesh

You can also use a query like

select e.ename,e.sal from emp e where 3>(select count
(distinct(b.sal)) from emp b where b.sal>e.sal)

as explained by Kalyan Kumar in Answer 2 and for making
it parameterised u can replace 3 by &sal so that when it is
executed it will ask you a number
if you enter 3 it will give you best three salaries , if
you enter 4 it will give you best 4 salaries etc.
