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
.
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中解法一的分析,我们只需要将OFFSET后面的1改为N-1就行了,但是这样MySQL会报错,估计不支持运算,那么我们可以在前面加一个SET N = N – 1,将N先变成N-1再做也是一样的:
解法一:
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,我们只需要将其1改为N-1即可,这里却支持N-1的计算,参见代码如下:
解法二:
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
当然我们也可以通过将最后的>改为>=,这样我们就可以将N-1换成N了:
解法三:
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
