By using following query we can find out the nth largest salary from employees table.
SELECT salary FROM `employees` ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET n-1
In the above query n is replaced by any number where n >= 1. Suppose you want to find fifth highest salary then you have to use offset = 5-1 i.e.: 4
The query will be:
SELECT salary FROM `employees` ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET 4
