Hi all,

Help me to write an sql query ..

suppose i have 4 departments. I need max salary in department(1) and 2nd highest salary in department(2) and third highest in dept(3) and least sal in 4th dept.

my table is like this

name sal dept
A 1000 1
B 1600 1
C 950 1
D 1050 1
E 960 2
F 800 2
G 840 2
H 1010 2
I 999 3
J 970 3
K 1000 3
L 940 3
M 1200 4
N 1050 4
P 888 4
R 799 4

I WANT THE OUTPUT LIKE THIS:

NAME SAL DEPT
B 1600 1
E 960 2 — SECOND HIGHEST IN DEPT
J 970 3 — THIRD HIGHEST
R 799 4 — 4TH HIGHEST

Is it possible to do it in SQL or we have to go for PLSQL. Please reply..

thanks in advance….

Hi Dixit, You are not right. because it could be possibility that some salary also duplicate ..so you should use distinct keword as well.
