Oracle: how to find out 9th highest salary from emp table?

Question

How we can get nth max salary from Employee Table (EMP_ID, Salary)

Emp_id salary
1 1000
3 2000
4 16000
2 10000
7 19000
8 12000

e.g. for 3rd max salary, salary is 12000 so answer will be emp_id : 8

Answer 1

SELECT DISTINCT (a.sal)
FROM EMP A
WHERE &N = (SELECT COUNT (DISTINCT (b.sal)) FROM EMP B WHERE a.sal <=b. sal);

Enter value for n: 2
