177. Nth Highest Salary

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

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

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

+------------------------+
| getNthHighestSalary(2) |
+------------------------+
| 200                    |
+------------------------+

代码

CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
DECLARE M INT;
SET M=N-1;
  RETURN (
      # Write your MySQL query statement below.
      SELECT DISTINCT Salary 
      FROM Employee 
      ORDER BY Salary DESC 
      LIMIT M, 1
  );
END

sql中limit使用方法

1、下面是几种limit的方法：

在数据库中很多地方都会用到，比如当你数据库查询记录有几万、几十万时使用limit查询效率非常快，只需要查询出你需要的数据就可以了·再也不用全表查询导致查询数据库崩溃的情况。

select * from Customer LIMIT 10;--检索前10行数据，显示1-10条数据
select * from Customer LIMIT 1,10;--检索从第2行开始，累加10条id记录，共显示id为2....11
select * from Customer limit 5,10;--检索从第6行开始向前加10条数据，共显示id为6,7....15
select * from Customer limit 6,10;--检索从第7行开始向前加10条记录，显示id为7,8...16

2、sql中update的用法

需求：如果我想更新id=1的status为1，id不为1的status为0 ，且id有外键

update AccountStatus a set a.statusSource=(case when a.statusSource =1 then 1  else  0 end )
