Second record according to what?
Shoe size? Age? Weight?

If you don't supply information about what second record is, any record is second record.

[code]select top 1 * from
(select top 2 *
from Employee
order by [name]) as t
order by [name] desc
[/code]

Note: I assume [name] as the ordering field
