T-SQL How to select only Second row from a table?

Question

I have a table and I need to retrieve the ID of the Second row. How to achieve that ?

By Top 2 I select the two first rows, but I need only

Answer 1

Certainly TOP will surfice if you simply want the TOP 2, but if you need them individually so that you can do something with those values then use the ROW_NUMBER which will give you more control over the rows you want to select

ps. I did this as i'm not sure if the OP is after a simple TOP 2 in a select. (I may be wrong!)

-- Get first row, same as TOP 1
SELECT [Id] FROM 
(
    SELECT [Id], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [Id]) AS Rownumber
    FROM table
) results
WHERE results.Rownumber = 1

-- Get second row only
SELECT [Id] FROM 
(
    SELECT [Id], ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY [Id]) AS Rownumber
    FROM table
) results
WHERE results.Rownumber = 2
