176. Second Highest Salary
题意：
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 second highest salary is 200. If there is no second highest salary, then the query should return null.
解法：Using max() will return a NULL if the value doesn't exist. So there is no need to UNION a NULL. Of course, if the second highest value is guaranteed to exist, using LIMIT 1,1 will be the best answer.
1 select max(Salary) as SecondHighestSalary from Employee where Salary < (select max(Salary) from Employee);
