Hi

I have column with dates in them . I need to identify the second most max date. I can Identify the Max date by using the max function. How do I identify the second most max date?

How can this be achieved?

Thanks a ton in advance.

the following query solves u'r problem.

select min(start_date) from test a where 2 >(select count(*) from test b where a.start_date<b.start_date)
