This approach uses the SQL query constructs to fetch the nth highest salary directly from the database. We will utilize ORDER BY, DISTINCT, LIMIT, and OFFSET to achieve this.
Steps:
SELECT DISTINCT.ORDER BY salary DESC.LIMIT and OFFSET to skip the first n-1 results and take the nth result if it exists.1// Placeholder function for SQL query in JavaScript
2function getNthHighestSalarySQL(n) {
3 return `SELECT DISTINCT salary FROM Employee ORDER BY salary DESC LIMIT 1 OFFSET ${n - 1}`;
4}

6// Use Node.js MySQL or another SQL execution environment to run this query.This JavaScript function provides a SQL query string. The query can be executed in a SQL environment using libraries like node-postgres or mysql for Node.js.
In this approach, we will use the DENSE_RANK() window function available in SQL to assign ranks to salaries based on their value.
Steps:
DENSE_RANK by partitioning properly.n.#include <iostream>
#include <string>
std::string getNthHighestSalary_DenseRankSQL(int n) {
return "SELECT salary FROM (SELECT salary, DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY salary DESC) as rank FROM Employee) as Ranked WHERE rank = " + std::to_string(n);
}
/* Execute within SQL database systems supporting advanced SQL functions */This C++ function returns a SQL query string which uses the DENSE_RANK() function. It needs to be executed within a database system capable of handling SQL window functions.
