@peter: your query is pretty cool but it wont work when
there are multiple salaries with same amount. I mean three
persons have same salary 24000, which is MAX sal in salary
table. In that case, below query will work.
select a.salary from employees a where 1 = (select count
(distinct b.salary) from employees b where
a.salary<b.salary)
Digit 1 is (n-1) where n is nth value. Here n is 2(Second
highest salary).
I would appreciate if anybody tried to break my above query
and explain how does this work.
