somehow I think that’s going to need a bit of dynamic SQL

…but of course there is a difference between the “10′th highest salary” and the “n’th Highest salary”.

By looking for the “nth” highest, there is a need for control by a variable value. That can make things very different.

select min( SALARY ) from (
select EMPNO, SALARY from EMPLOYEE order by SALARY desc
fetch first 10 rows only
) as t1

I think you need a cursor .. here is a rough draft

Declare cursor getIt as
SELECT SALARY FROM EMPLOYEE order by SALARY DESC

Then open the cursor
Open getIt

Then either fetch with loop
do 10
fetch from getIt into Salary10
enddo
