Others have shown the proprietary Oracle way. Assuming your instance has the necessary plumbing, you can use the OLAP approach ... which also happens to transport to other RDBMS.

SELECT a.blah, a.blahblah ...
FROM
  ( SELECT
      ROW_NUMBER() OVER (blah) AS row_number, blah, blahblah     FROM <your table>
    [where ...]
  ) a
WHERE a.row_number =2;

Enjoy!
