Retrieve third lowest value from a table
Question: How can I retrieve the third lowest salary amount from a salary table?
Answer: To retrieve the third lowest salary from a salary table, you could run the following query: (please note that the subquery is sorted in ascending order)
SELECT salary_amount FROM (select salary2.*, rownum rnum from (select * from salary ORDER BY salary_amount) salary2 where rownum <= 3 ) WHERE rnum >= 3;
If you wanted to retrieve all fields from the salary table for the third lowest salary, you could run the following query: (please note that the subquery is sorted in ascending order)
SELECT * FROM (select salary2.*, rownum rnum from (select * from salary ORDER BY salary_amount) salary2 where rownum <= 3 ) WHERE rnum >= 3;
