Lets say I have the following table:

 SomeTable(
    id, 
    price
 )

How do I select the 2nd highest priced row from this table?
Note : This has to be done in Pl/SQL, in a database agnostic way.
Is it possible to do this without any loops?

  1. I know how this is done using Oracle constructs like rownum or mysql constructs like limit, so I am not looking for those.

    Isn’t this simple? God knows why I didn’t think about it before!

    select max(price) from tnum
    where price <> (select max(price) from tnum)
