if you have the following query you can get the 2nd,3rd,4th highest values just changing the top number in the sub query.

select top 1 prod_price from product where prod_price in(select top 2 prod_price from product
order by prod_price desc)

Above qery resut the 2nd highes value . if you change the top 2 to top 3 in the sub query it will give the 3rd highest ..

To find the 5th row of a table.
To find 2nd highest salary
To find 3 highest salary
To delete duplicate records of a table.
Group functions
Types of join, describe self join and equi join
special operators
Delete records where ename is duplicated
To find 10th lowest salary
union operator

UDF – User Defined Function
UDF – Subroutines made up of one or more Transact-SQL statements that can be used to encapsulate code for reuse

You have mentioned in question “Difference between having and where clause’ that

when Group by is not used it behaves like a where claluse this statement is wrong because without group by clause you can not use having clause.

Nice website, but the question about Difference between Truncate and Delete Table you have mentioned that truncate table can not be rollback, it is not true, i can be rolled back i have done it myself

just to add some differences between a sp and a table :

1. when you add any exec statement which executes sps or any dynamic query in a fn , you will get this msg from the execution engine :

Only functions and extended stored procedures can be executed from within a function.

2. you cannot access temporary tables from within a function.
