Selecting a specific row

right now, i use "SELECT TOP 1...". If i wanted to get the second, and only second row, what would i have to do? "SELECT TOP 2" selects the top 2, instead of just the second. Help anyone?

You could do a subselect. Something like this ought to do the trick.

Code:

SELECT TOP 1
FROM (
  SELECT TOP 2 
  col1, col2, col3
  FROM   table
  WHERE  col4 = 'foo'  
)
ORDER BY col1 DESC
