LeetCode_OJ【177】Nth Highest Salary

Write a SQL query to get the n^th highest salary from the Employee table.

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

For example, given the above Employee table, the n^th highest salary where n = 2 is 200. If there is no n^th highest salary, then the query should return null.

本体的思路和178题思路差不多，先给找出[salary , rank] 然后找rank = n的结果，注意在找出 [salary,rank] 的时候要合并相同的salary的元组

CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
  RETURN (
      # Write your MySQL query statement below.
      select distinct salary from 
        (select e1.salary,(select count(*)+1 from (select distinct salary from Employee) e2 where e1.salary < e2.salary) as rank 
            from Employee e1) e where rank = N
  );
END
