Problem

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                    |
+------------------------+

上一個問題的推廣，找到第N大的元素

MySQL

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

分析

解題思路一致，不過是改成個自定義函式而已。
