SQL经典题目之善用自连接和逻辑关系

有一个员工表employees简况如下:

emp_no	birth_date	first_name	last_name	gender	hire_date
10001	1953-09-02	Georgi	Facello	M	1986-06-26
10002	1964-06-02	Bezalel	Simmel	F	1985-11-21
10003	1959-12-03	Parto	Bamford	M	1986-08-28
10004	1954-05-01	Chirstian	Koblick	M	1986-12-01

有一个薪水表salaries简况如下:

emp_no	salary	from_date	to_date
10001	88958	2002-06-26	9999-01-01
10002	72527	2001-08-02	9999-01-01
10003	43311	2001-12-01	9999-01-01
10004	74057	2001-11-27	9999-01-01

请你查找薪水排名第二多的员工编号emp_no、薪水salary、last_name以及first_name，不能使用order by完成

select e.emp_no,s.salary,e.last_name,e.first_name
from
employees e
join 
salaries s on e.emp_no=s.emp_no 
and  s.to_date='9999-01-01'
and s.salary = 
(
     select s1.salary
     from 
     salaries s1
     join
     salaries s2 on s1.salary<=s2.salary 
     and s1.to_date='9999-01-01' and s2.to_date='9999-01-01'
     group by s1.salary
     having count(distinct s2.salary)=2
 )

通用型可以求任意第几高，并且可以求多个形同工资
