SQL & Pandas Challenge 3 Solution

The document provides SQL and Pandas solutions to find the second highest salary from an Employee table. It includes examples of creating the Employee table with different number of rows and inserting sample data. The solutions demonstrate using a subquery, CTE, DENSE_RANK, and nlargest methods to return the second highest salary or null if there is no second highest.

Question
Table: Employee
+--------------------+--------+
| Column Name | Type |
+--------------------+--------+
| id | int |
| salary | int |
+--------------------+--------+
id is the primary key (column with unique values) for this table.
Each row of this table contains information about the salary of an employee.
Continued…
Write a solution to find the second highest salary from the Employee table. If there is no second highest salary, return null.
The result format is in the following example.

Example 1:
Output 1:
Input: Employee

Example 2:
Output 2:
Input: Employee
Query for the input table
-- Example 1:
CREATE TABLE Employee (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
salary INT
);

INSERT INTO Employee (id, salary) VALUES


(1, 100),
(2, 200),
(3, 300);

SELECT * FROM employee;


Continued…
-- Example 2:

CREATE TABLE Employee (


id INT PRIMARY KEY,
salary INT
);

INSERT INTO Employee (id, salary) VALUES


(1, 100);

SELECT * FROM employee;


Solution using MySQL
Solution using Subquery

SELECT
(SELECT DISTINCT salary
FROM Employee
ORDER BY salary DESC
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1) AS SecondHighestSalary;
Solution using MySQL
Solution using CTE and IFNULL

WITH cte AS
(
SELECT *
, DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rn
FROM employee
)

SELECT IFNULL(
(SELECT salary
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 2
LIMIT 1), NULL) AS SecondHighestSalary ;
Solution using MySQL
Solution using CTE and COALESCE
/* Even COALESCE can also be used instead of IFNULL*/

WITH cte AS
(
SELECT *
, DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rn
FROM employee
)

SELECT COALESCE(
(SELECT salary
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 2
LIMIT 1), NULL) AS SecondHighestSalary;
Solution using Python(Pandas)
import pandas as pd

# Creating the DataFrame for Example 1


data1 = {'id': [1, 2, 3], 'salary': [100, 200, 300]}
df1 = pd.DataFrame(data1)

# Finding the second highest salary for Example 1


if len(df1) >= 2:
result1 = df1['salary'].nlargest(2).iloc[-1]
else:
result1 = "null"

# Displaying the results


print("Example 1:")
print("Second Highest Salary:", result1)
Solution using Python(Pandas)
# Creating the DataFrame for Example 2
data2 = {'id': [1], 'salary': [100]}
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data2)

# Finding the second highest salary for Example 2


if len(df2) >= 2:
result2 = df2['salary'].nlargest(2).iloc[-1]
else:
result2 = "null“

print("\nExample 2:")
print("Second Highest Salary:", result2)
