Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable -> ( -> Value int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.59 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable values(40); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.26 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(60); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.09 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(45); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.11 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(85); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(78); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable;
This will produce the following output−
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 40 | | 60 | | 45 | | 85 | | 78 | +-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to find Nth maximum value in MySQL −
mysql> select * from DemoTable order by Value desc limit 2,1;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Value | +-------+ | 60 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
