[LeetCode#177]Nth Highest Salary

Write a SQL query to get the nth highest salary from the Employee table.

+----+--------+
| Id | Salary |
+----+--------+
| 1  | 100    |
| 2  | 200    |
| 3  | 300    |
+----+--------+
For example, given the above Employee table, the nth highest salary where n = 2 is 200. If there is no nth highest salary, then the query should return null.

+------------------------+
| getNthHighestSalary(2) |
+------------------------+
| 200                    |
+------------------------+

 

解法一：

CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
  SET N = N - 1;
  RETURN (
      SELECT DISTINCT Salary FROM Employee GROUP BY Salary
      ORDER BY Salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET N
  );
END

解法二：

CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
  RETURN (
      SELECT MAX(Salary) FROM Employee E1
      WHERE N =
      (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(E2.Salary)) FROM Employee E2
      WHERE E2.Salary >= E1.Salary)
  );
END

 解法三：

CREATE FUNCTION getNthHighestSalary(N INT) RETURNS INT
BEGIN
  RETURN (
      SELECT MAX(Salary) FROM Employee E1
      WHERE N - 1 =
      (SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT(E2.Salary)) FROM Employee E2
      WHERE E2.Salary > E1.Salary)
  );
END
