I bet this one is going to top the list of popularity amongst regular questions being asked.
Take a look here... Previously Discussed...
Also it might help others if you use SEARCH facility before posting your questions. |

Code:
SELECT MAX(SALARY) FROM EMP_TABLE A WHERE 5=(SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMP_TABLE B WHERE A.SALARY<=B.SALARY);
For Nth Maximum Value:-
Code:
SELECT SALARY FROM EMP_TABLE A WHERE (N-1) IN (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM EMP_TABLE B WHERE A.SALARY < B. SALARY);
i have one table only not two tables
i have little bit confuse here how it comes table
B
my query is only one table not from two tables
i want to reterive the data from one table A only

Did you execute the query or NOT?
Its not two tables... Its just kind of image of a single table... I would not go in further details of ALIAs, which is what this called... |
