 Question
Table: Employee
+--------------------+--------+
| Column Name | Type |
+--------------------+--------+
| id | int |
| salary | int |
+--------------------+--------+
id is the primary key (column with unique values) for this table.
Each row of this table contains information about the salary of an employee.
 Continued…
Write a solution to find the second highest salary from the Employee table. If there is no second highest salary, return null.
The result format is in the following example.

Example 1:
Output 1:
Input: Employee

Example 2:
Output 2:
Input: Employee
Query for the input table
-- Example 1:
CREATE TABLE Employee (
id INT PRIMARY KEY,
salary INT
);

INSERT INTO Employee (id, salary) VALUES

(1, 100),
(2, 200),
(3, 300);

SELECT * FROM employee;

 Continued…
-- Example 2:

CREATE TABLE Employee (

id INT PRIMARY KEY,
salary INT
);

INSERT INTO Employee (id, salary) VALUES

(1, 100);

SELECT * FROM employee;

Solution using MySQL
Solution using Subquery

SELECT
(SELECT DISTINCT salary
FROM Employee
ORDER BY salary DESC
LIMIT 1 OFFSET 1) AS SecondHighestSalary;
Solution using MySQL
Solution using CTE and IFNULL

WITH cte AS
(
SELECT *
, DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rn
FROM employee
)

SELECT IFNULL(
(SELECT salary
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 2
LIMIT 1), NULL) AS SecondHighestSalary ;
Solution using MySQL
Solution using CTE and COALESCE
/* Even COALESCE can also be used instead of IFNULL*/

WITH cte AS
(
SELECT *
, DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY salary DESC) AS rn
FROM employee
)

SELECT COALESCE(
(SELECT salary
FROM cte
WHERE rn = 2
LIMIT 1), NULL) AS SecondHighestSalary;
Solution using Python(Pandas)
import pandas as pd

# Creating the DataFrame for Example 1

data1 = {'id': [1, 2, 3], 'salary': [100, 200, 300]}
df1 = pd.DataFrame(data1)

# Finding the second highest salary for Example 1

if len(df1) >= 2:
result1 = df1['salary'].nlargest(2).iloc[-1]
else:
result1 = "null"

# Displaying the results

print("Example 1:")
print("Second Highest Salary:", result1)
Solution using Python(Pandas)
# Creating the DataFrame for Example 2
data2 = {'id': [1], 'salary': [100]}
df2 = pd.DataFrame(data2)

# Finding the second highest salary for Example 2

if len(df2) >= 2:
result2 = df2['salary'].nlargest(2).iloc[-1]
else:
result2 = "null“

print("\nExample 2:")
print("Second Highest Salary:", result2)
