1. To Find the nth highest salary

Eg: General query for all Database
SELECT DISTINCT salary FROM emp X WHERE n =
( SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT salary) FROM emp WHERE salary >=X.salary )

Replace n with the given number. for example to get the 3rd highest salary
SELECT DISTINCT salary FROM emp X WHERE 3 =
( SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT salary) FROM emp WHERE salary >=X.salary )

nth highest salary

In Postgresql:
simly we can use offest and limit
Query:select salary from emp order by salary desc offset n limit 1;

-> Here replace the n with the given number-1. for example to get the 3rd highest salary we have to give 2.
nth salary using offset

1.To Find the nth least salary

Query:select salary from emp order by salary asc offset 2 limit 1

-> Here replace the n with the given number-1. for example to get the 3rd least salary we have to give 2.
