Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable( Marks int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (1.34 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(78); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(88); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(67); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(76); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(98); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(86); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(89); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(99); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Marks | +-------+ | 78 | | 88 | | 67 | | 76 | | 98 | | 86 | | 89 | | 99 | +-------+ 8 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to get a second-largest mark from MySQL table −
mysql> select Marks from DemoTable where Marks=(select MAX(Marks) from DemoTable where Marks < (select MAX(Marks) from DemoTable));
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Marks | +-------+ | 98 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.03 sec)
