I can give you the logic if not the exact query to get this result.The answer you are searching is a subquery.Suppose you have to find the second maximum salary from EMPL table.
Try this :
SELECT MAX(SALARY) FROM EMPL WHERE
SALARY <(SELECT MAX(SALARY) FROM EMPL)

hope this helped! icon_smile.gif

Regards,
Paru.
