Getting second highest Salary value in MySQL
In a given question,
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 |
+---------------------+
I wrote a code for this question, however, the expected output is different.
My Code:
SELECT
CASE
WHEN COUNT(*) = 1 THEN NULL
ELSE (SELECT Salary FROM Employee HAVING Salary < MAX(Salary) ORDER BY Salary DESC LIMIT 1)
END AS SecondHighestSalary
FROM Employee;
I think there's something wrong with my code but I cannot find what is the actual problem here. My code returns 100 not 200. What have I gotten wrong?
+---------------------+
| SecondHighestSalary |
+---------------------+
| 100 |
+---------------------+

You can utilize LIMIT {[offset,] row_count}. Refer https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/select.html
Order by Salary in descending order, and get the second row by defining OFFSET as 1. We will use DISTINCT on Salary as there is a possibility to have multiple rows for the highest salary.
SELECT DISTINCT
Salary
FROM Employee
ORDER BY Salary DESC
LIMIT 1,1

@Poream3387 it returns no results: db-fiddle.com/f/e1Efjj6SY5xVrTEuJ9oP4j/0 - It is pretty much equivalent to gettingnull. You can handle this in application code (eg: PHP), when no rows are returned.

The OP wanted to return a row with "null" value in case there is no second highest salary.. Without the "wrapper, the query would return "no_rows_returned" or an empty record set.
