176. Second Highest Salary

Write a SQL query to get the second highest salary from the Employee table.

+----+--------+
| Id | Salary |
+----+--------+
| 1  | 100    |
| 2  | 200    |
| 3  | 300    |
+----+--------+

For example, given the above Employee table, the query should return 200 as the second highest salary. If there is no second highest salary, then the query should return null.

+---------------------+
| SecondHighestSalary |
+---------------------+
| 200                 |
+---------------------+

要注意两个可能出现的情况,第一个当表格里的数据只有一个的时候,此时要返回null, 第二种情况是表格中salary都是同一个值,按照题目就不存在第二个最大值,也返回null.
1 SELECT 
2     (SELECT  DISTINCT Salary  FROM Employee
3     ORDER BY Salary Desc
4     LIMIT 1, 1) AS SecondHighestSalary;
SELECT 
    IFNULL((SELECT  DISTINCT Salary  FROM Employee
    ORDER BY Salary Desc
    LIMIT 1, 1), NULL) AS SecondHighestSalary;
