salary of the 4th employee from a SQL Server database

To select the salary of the 4th employee from a SQL Server database, you need to have a table that stores employee information. Assuming you have a table named Employees with a column named Salary, and you want to retrieve the salary of the 4th employee, you can use the following SQL query:

In Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL), you can use the ROW_NUMBER() function to achieve this. Assuming you have a table named Employees with a column named Salary and an identifier column (e.g., EmployeeID), you can use the following query:

   
  
      SELECT Salary
    FROM (
        SELECT Salary, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY EmployeeID) AS RowNum
        FROM Employees
    ) AS RankedEmployees
    WHERE RowNum = 4;

    

Method 2: Using OFFSET and FETCH

   
  
      SELECT Salary
SELECT Salary
FROM Employees
ORDER BY EmployeeID
OFFSET 3 ROWS FETCH NEXT 1 ROW ONLY;

    

Method 3: Using Common Table Expressions (CTE)

   
  
WITH RankedEmployees AS (
    SELECT Salary, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY EmployeeID) AS RowNum
    FROM Employees
)
SELECT Salary
FROM RankedEmployees
WHERE RowNum = 4;
   

Method 4: Using Subquery

   
  
SELECT Salary
FROM Employees
WHERE EmployeeID = (
    SELECT TOP 1 EmployeeID
    FROM Employees
    ORDER BY EmployeeID OFFSET 3 ROWS
);
