Leetcode SQL题

176. Second Highest Salary

Write a SQL query to get the second highest salary from the Employee table.

+----+--------+
| Id | Salary |
+----+--------+
| 1  | 100    |
| 2  | 200    |
| 3  | 300    |
+----+--------+

For example, given the above Employee table, the query should return 200 as the second highest salary. If there is no second highest salary, then the query should return null.

+---------------------+
| SecondHighestSalary |
+---------------------+
| 200                 |
+---------------------+

解法一

SELECT max(Salary) AS SecondHighestSalary
FROM Employee
WHERE Salary < (SELECT max(salary) FROM Employee)

解法二

SELECT salary AS SecondHighestSalary
FROM Employee
ORDER BY salary DESC
LIMIT 1,1

这样如果不存在第二大，会报错。

改进：

SELECT(
SELECT  DISTINCT salary 
FROM Employee
ORDER BY salary DESC
LIMIT 1,1)
AS SecondHighestSalary
