Consider the following sql server query ,

 DECLARE @Table TABLE(
        Wages FLOAT
)

INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 20000 
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 15000 
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 10000
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 45000
INSERT INTO @Table SELECT 50000

SELECT  *
FROM    (
            SELECT  *,
                    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Wages DESC) RowID
            FROM    @Table 
        ) sub
WHERE   RowID = 3

The result of the query would be 20000 ..... Thats fine as of now i have to find the result of this query,

SELECT  *
FROM    (
            SELECT  *,
                    ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY Wages DESC) RowID
            FROM    @Table 
        ) sub
WHERE   RowID = 6

It will not give any result because there are only 5 rows in the table..... so now my question is

What is the easiest way to find a sql query returns a result or not?
