no function. solved using Correlated Subselect

sample queries have been provided many times.
use the search feature of this forum.

Since you did not deem it appropriate to provide any details, I am providing a solution that will work if you are using Vsn7 or above:
Code:

SELECT SALARY, EMPNO, LASTNAME
FROM   EMP  E1
WHERE  4 > (SELECT COUNT(*)
             FROM   EMP E2
             WHERE  E1.SALARY < E2.SALARY)
ORDER BY 1 ASC
FETCH FIRST ROWS ONLY;


Change the '4' in the WHERE clause to whatever when you wish a different ?th.

again, I feel that this is a student or interview question and should not be put in this forum, but instead in the appropriate Interview forum.
