How can I get the value before the MAX in SQL?

I tried to MAX -1 but it did not work, because the values of the column I want to select the value before the MAX are not in ascending order.

    Hello @Amandalima, could you show the SQL you tried to do? So it gets easier to help.

The concept of the former may be relative. I think it solves what you want:

SELECT MAX(coluna) FROM tabela WHERE coluna NOT IN (SELECT MAX(coluna) FROM tabela)

I put in the Github for future reference.

You do a search for the maximum and then do another search in the whole without what you found, so the new maximum will be the previous one.

  • Exactly what I wanted!! Thank you!!!
