How does RANK help here?

It should be a simple nested query with a TOP. Right?

Like
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT CODE, AMOUNT AS AMT,
RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY CODE ORDER BY AMOUNT) AS MYRANK
FROM CBJDETAIL
) AS A
WHERE MYRANK = 4

But, how does this give me Nth highest salary?

I want the 7th highest salary with employee names may be... RANK does not do anything related to that. Data is stored in any order.

Simple,
CREATE TABLE SALARY (EMPCODE VARCHAR(10), SALARY MONEY)
INSERT INTO SALARY VALUES('A1', 15000)
INSERT INTO SALARY VALUES('A2', 20000)
INSERT INTO SALARY VALUES('A3', 25000)
INSERT INTO SALARY VALUES('A4', 30000)
INSERT INTO SALARY VALUES('A5', 35000)

SELECT * FROM (
SELECT EMPCODE, SALARY,
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY SALARY DESC) AS MYRANK
FROM SALARY
) AS A
WHERE MYRANK = 4

This will fetch 4th highest salary.
wont that. Please reply if it does.
