    what is the query to select nth highest salary of emp table

    select MAX(Salary) from Employee;

    this really sounds like homework....

    anyway,

    the nth highest , ie the second or third, requires the use if a subquery and row_number, or nested top X queries with opposite ORDER BY commands.

    SELECT * FROM (select row_number() over(partition by order by.....) myAlais Where RW = 3
