Write a SQL query to get the nth highest salary from the Employee
table.html
+----+--------+ | 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

这道题是以前那道Second Highest Salary的拓展,根据以前那道题的作法,咱们能够很容易的将其推展为N,根据对Second Highest Salary中解法一的分析,咱们只须要将OFFSET后面的1改成N-1就好了,可是这样MySQL会报错,估计不支持运算,那么咱们能够在前面加一个SET N = N - 1,将N先变成N-1再作也是同样的:url
解法一:spa
CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT BEGIN SET N = N - 1; RETURN ( SELECT DISTINCT Salary FROM Employee GROUP BY Salary ORDER BY Salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET N ); END
根据对Second Highest Salary中解法四的分析,咱们只须要将其1改成N-1便可,这里却支持N-1的计算,参见代码以下:code
解法二:htm
CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT BEGIN RETURN ( SELECT MAX(Salary) FROM Employee E1 WHERE N - 1 = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(E2.Salary)) FROM Employee E2 WHERE E2.Salary > E1.Salary) ); END
固然咱们也能够经过将最后的>改成>=,这样咱们就能够将N-1换成N了:blog
解法三:leetcode
CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT BEGIN RETURN ( SELECT MAX(Salary) FROM Employee E1 WHERE N = (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(E2.Salary)) FROM Employee E2 WHERE E2.Salary >= E1.Salary) ); END
