Select MAX, 2nd highest, etc.

I would like to be able to select the maximum (highest ) value for a
field, the 2nd highest, 3rd highest, etc. Are there any other
functions that I might consider using with SQL? MAX will only pick up
the highest and MIN the lowest value, but is there a way to pick up
middle values, i.e., the 2nd, 3rd, etc, so I can list them in one row,
along with a common key?

Thanks,

Carroll Rinehart

I was working on some database application and had this small task of getting the second highes marks in a class. I was able to do that using subqueries. Just thinking what is a good way of getting second highest value in an integer array. One method I know of is to make the 1st pass through the array and find the highest number. In the second pass we can find the highest number which is less than the number we obtained in the 1st pass.

I have an Access DB, from which I am going to pull images. Each image has an associated ID, but the ID's are not necessarily sequential (some images may have been deleted, leaving gaps in the list of ID's).

For example, I want to...

Hi, This is a homework question. I will try to keep it minimal so not to have anyone do it for me. I am really just stuck on one small spot. I have to figure out the highest number from a users input. I give them a menu to choose from, and I am stuck on only one of the choices. When this choice is picked I must allow the user to enter how many numbers he/she wants to enter; then I must figure out which number is the highest. I have...

Hello, I have a query that creates a table of duplicates in my database. For one set of duplicates (three records), all the fields & values are the same except for the values in one field. This field is a numeric field. I need to figure out a way to remove all the duplicates except for the one with the highest value in that field. I don't want to have to create a module for this. I want to run it all from a stored query. I was thinking the...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
