    you use a technique using the TOP statement twice:

    declare @payroll TABLE (

    salary money,

    firstname varchar(30) )

    INSERT INTO @payroll(salary,firstname)

    SELECT 400.01,'Bob' UNION

    SELECT 800.02,'Bill' UNION

    SELECT 1200.03,'Todd' UNION

    SELECT 100.01,'Nick'

    SELECT TOP 1 X.salary,X.firstname  FROM (

    SELECT TOP 2 salary,firstname FROM @payroll ORDER BY salary DESC

    ) X ORDER BY salary ASC

    Sounds a whole lot like interview or homework questions... would have loved to see the reply... "What have YOU tried?" 😀

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

    Sounds like you've nailed it Jeff... The original poster should do a spelling/grammar check prior to submission.
