How to get the fourth highest value using MySQL query?

To get the fourth-highest value, use LIMIT OFFSET along with ORDER BY. Let us first create a table −

mysql> create table DemoTable (    Amount int ); Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.88 sec)

Insert some records in the table using insert command −

mysql> insert into DemoTable values(980); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(670); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.19 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(890); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.15 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(995); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.25 sec) mysql> insert into DemoTable values(198); Query OK, 1 row affected (0.10 sec)

Display all records from the table using select statement −

mysql> select *from DemoTable;

This will produce the following output −

+--------+ | Amount | +--------+ | 980 | | 670 | | 890 | | 995 | | 198 | +--------+ 5 rows in set (0.00 sec)

Following is the query to get the fourth-highest value −

mysql> select *from DemoTable order by Amount desc limit 1 offset 3;

This will produce the following output −

+--------+ | Amount | +--------+ | 670 | +--------+ 1 row in set (0.00 sec)
