SELECT * FROM employees ORDER BY salary DESC limit 1,1;

Use below MySql Query to find Nth highest employee salary from an employees table

SELECT *
FROM employees Emp1
WHERE ( n ) = (
                SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT ( Emp2.salary ) )
                FROM employees Emp2
                WHERE Emp2.salary >= Emp1.salary
            );

Here, replace the n with any number. For example, if you have to find 10th highest salary , then replace n with 10 like below query –

SELECT *
FROM employees Emp1
WHERE 10 = (
                SELECT COUNT( DISTINCT ( Emp2.salary ) )
                FROM employees Emp2
                WHERE Emp2.salary >= Emp1.salary
            );

What will you do for nth highest (say 10th)? Don’t use LIMIT.
