Select nth highest value in MySQL
To select the nth highest value in MySQL, following is the syntax −
select distinct(yourColumnName) from yourTableName order by yourColumnName DESC limit (NthValue-1),1;
Let us first create a table −
mysql> create table DemoTable1594 -> ( -> Marks int -> ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.49 sec)
Insert some records in the table using insert command −
mysql> insert into DemoTable1594 values(76); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1594 values(95); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1594 values(56); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.13 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1594 values(96); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.16 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable1594 values(89); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec)
Display all records from the table using select statement −
mysql> select * from DemoTable1594;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Marks | +-------+ | 76 | | 95 | | 56 | | 96 | | 89 | +-------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)
Here is the query to select nth highest value −
mysql> select distinct(Marks) from DemoTable1594 order by Marks DESC limit 2,1;
This will produce the following output −
+-------+ | Marks | +-------+ | 89 | +-------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
