Question

Formatted question description: https://leetcode.ca/all/177.html

Table: Employee

+-------------+------+
| Column Name | Type |
+-------------+------+
| id          | int  |
| salary      | int  |
+-------------+------+
id is the primary key column for this table.
Each row of this table contains information about the salary of an employee.

 

Write an SQL query to report the nth highest salary from the Employee table. If there is no nth highest salary, the query should report null.

The query result format is in the following example.

 

Example 1:

Input: 
Employee table:
+----+--------+
| id | salary |
+----+--------+
| 1  | 100    |
| 2  | 200    |
| 3  | 300    |
+----+--------+
n = 2
Output: 
+------------------------+
| getNthHighestSalary(2) |
+------------------------+
| 200                    |
+------------------------+

Example 2:

Input: 
Employee table:
+----+--------+
| id | salary |
+----+--------+
| 1  | 100    |
+----+--------+
n = 2
Output: 
+------------------------+
| getNthHighestSalary(2) |
+------------------------+
| null                   |
+------------------------+

Algorithm

Change the 1 after OFFSET to N-1, but then MySQL will report an error and it is estimated that the operation is not supported. Then we can add a SET N = N-1 in front.

Code

SQL

CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
  DECLARE M INT;
  SET M=N-1; # index issue
  RETURN (
      # Write your MySQL query statement below.
      SELECT DISTINCT Salary
      FROM Employee
      ORDER BY Salary DESC
      LIMIT 1
      OFFSET M
  );
END
