  1.
  Select * from Employee where salary =
  (Select max(Salary) from Employee where salary < (Select max(Salary) from Employee where
  Salary<(Select max(Salary) from Employee where
  Salary <…………………………………………… N
  
  The above query can be continued n timesif you require nth highest salary
  2.
  Select * From Employee E1 Where
  (N-1) = (Select Count(Distinct(E2.Salary)) From Employee E2 Where
  E2.Salary > E1.Salary)
  
  here you require N th highest salary
  
  Those were two choices , i think 2nd one will take a bit time.
