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 |+------------------------+
① 这道题是之前那道Second Highest Salary的拓展,根据之前那道题的做法,我们可以很容易的将其推展为N,根据对Second Highest Salary中①的分析,我们只需要将OFFSET后面的1改为N-1就行了,可以在前面加一个SET N = N - 1,将N先变成N-1。1019 ms
CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN SET N = N - 1; RETURN ( SELECT Salary FROM Employee GROUP BY Salary ORDER BY Salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET N ); ENDCREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN SET N = N - 1; RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT Salary FROM Employee ORDER BY Salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET N ); END② 根据对Second Highest Salary中④的分析,我们只需要将其1改为N-1即可。2278 ms
CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN RETURN ( SELECT MAX(e1.Salary) FROM Employee E1 WHERE N - 1 = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(E2.Salary)) FROM Employee E2 WHERE E2.Salary > E1.Salary) ); END
