Hi to all

this is siva prasad.in above some quereis were not worked properly ,in the sense i am unable to get desired output when some are duplicated(sal is repeated for some records).

Finally I executed a query .It doesn’t have order by clause of-course it has distinct.

SELECT Max(Sal) FROM emp
WHERE Sal IN
(SELECT distinct TOP 3 Sal FROM emp )

and the query in the Main article is yielding correct result.

Hai,i thought it will help .you to find the any highest sal as per requirement.i face the question on interview.

Select * from tablename e1 where N=(select count(distinct (e2.sal))from tablename e2 where e2.sal>=e1.sal

ex-

select * from emp e1 where 3=(select count(distinct(e2.sal)) from emp e2 where e2.sal>=e1.sal)

this above query is used to find the 3 max salary of table

What does this query do? Finding thrid maximum? It will be slow for large tables. Refer alternate methods here http://beyondrelational.com/blogs/madhivanan/archive/2007/08/27/find-nth-maximum-value.aspx

It is a table alias for the subquery

By: madhivanan

madhivanan — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:42:41 +0000

This is simple

select salary+salary*0.10 from table

By: madhivanan

madhivanan — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 13:38:39 +0000

For accuray use this

select empid,ename,esal,esal+(esal*10.0/100) as Increment_Salary from emp
