Hello GK:

You can use this query:

SQL> run
1 select *
2 from wage
3 where salary =
4 (select Max(salary)
5* from wage)

Good Luck

Hello GK:

This will allow you to get salary and names of more than one department if located in different tables.

SQL> run
1 select wage.name "department1 name", wage.salary "department1 salary", wage2.name "department2
2 from wage, wage2
3 where wage.salary =
4 (select Max(wage.salary)
5 from wage)
6 and
7 wage2.salary =
8 (select Max(wage2.salary)
9* from wage2)

Good Luck

Hello GK:

I am sorry that I misunderstood the problem. Here is the code to solve the problem. The number 3 will get three highest salaries. That would be the n to find the max salaries.

select deptno, sal, empno
from wage3 w1
where 3 >
(select count(*)
from wage3 w2
where w1.sal < w2.sal
and
w2.deptno=1)
and
w1.deptno=1
or
3 >
(select count(*)
from wage3 w2
where w1.sal < w2.sal
and
w2.deptno=2)
and
w1.deptno=2
or
3 >
(select count(*)
from wage3 w2
where w1.sal < w2.sal
and
w2.deptno=3)
and
w1.deptno=3
order by deptno, sal desc
/

Good Luck
