How to get the top 3 salaries from a MySQL table with record of Employee Salaries?
For this, use LIMIT and OFFSET. Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable867(EmployeeSalary int); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.64 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable867 values(63737); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.12 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable867 values(899833); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable867 values(23644); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.20 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable867 values(89393); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.14 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable867 values(534333); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable867 values(889322); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.08 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select *from DemoTable867;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | EmployeeSalary | +----------------+ | 63737 | | 899833 | | 23644 | | 89393 | | 534333 | | 889322 | +----------------+ 6 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to get first highest salary −
mysql> select distinct(EmployeeSalary) from DemoTable867 order by EmployeeSalary DESC LIMIT 1;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | EmployeeSalary | +----------------+ | 899833 | +----------------+ 1 row in set (0.02 sec)
Here is the query to get second highest salary −
mysql> select distinct(EmployeeSalary) from DemoTable867 order by EmployeeSalary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | EmployeeSalary | +----------------+ | 889322 | +----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
Following is the query to get third highest salary −
mysql> select distinct(EmployeeSalary) from DemoTable867 order by EmployeeSalary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 2;
This will produce the following output −
+----------------+ | EmployeeSalary | +----------------+ | 534333 | +----------------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
