LIMIT 10 20 in SQL Server

Question

I m trying to do something like    SELECT   FROM table LIMIT 10 20   or  SELECT   FROM table LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10   but using SQL Server  The only solution I found looks like overkill   SELECT   FROM      SELECT    ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY name  as row FROM sys databases     a WHERE row  gt  5 and row  lt   10   I also found   SELECT TOP 10   FROM stuff         but it s not what I want to do since I can t specify the starting limit   Is there another way for me to do that     Also  just curious  is there a reason why doesn t SQL Server support the LIMIT function or something similar  I don t want to be mean  but that really sounds like something a DBMS needs     If it does  then I m sorry for being so ignorant  I ve been working with MySQL and SQL  for the past 5 years so

SELECT TOP 10   FROM TABLE WHERE IDCOLUMN NOT IN  SELECT TOP 10 IDCOLUMN FROM TABLE    Should give records 11-20  Probably not too efficient if incrementing to get further pages  and not sure how it might be affected by ordering  Might have to specify this in both WHERE statements

So far this format is what is working for me  not the best performance though    SELECT TOP  desired amount of rows     FROM  SELECT    ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY  order columns  asc   row   FROM  table  tmp WHERE   row    gt   offset row count    A note on the side  paginating over dynamic data can lead to strange unexpected results

Just for the record solution that works across most database engines though might not be the most efficient   Select Top  ReturnCount    From       Select Top  SkipCount   ReturnCount        From SourceTable     Order By ReverseSortCondition   ReverseSorted Order By SortCondition   Pelase note  the last page would still contain ReturnCount rows no matter what SkipCount is  But that might be a good thing in many cases

For SQL Server 2012   you can use   SELECT    FROM     sys databases ORDER BY name  OFFSET  5 ROWS  FETCH NEXT 5 ROWS ONLY

If you are using SQL Server 2012  vote for Martin Smith s answer and use the OFFSET and FETCH NEXT extensions to ORDER BY   If you are unfortunate enough to be stuck with an earlier version  you could do something like this   WITH Rows AS       SELECT               ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY  dbo   SomeColumn    Row                          FROM                dbo   SomeTable    SELECT TOP 10                  FROM          Rows     WHERE Row  gt  10   I believe is functionaly equivalent to  SELECT   FROM SomeTable LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10 ORDER BY SomeColumn   and the best performing way I know of doing it in TSQL  before MS SQL 2012     If there are very many rows you may get better performance using a temp table instead of a CTE

The equivalent of LIMIT is SET ROWCOUNT  but if you want generic pagination it s better to write a query like this    WITH Results CTE AS       SELECT         Col1  Col2               ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY SortCol1  SortCol2       AS RowNum     FROM Table     WHERE  lt whatever gt    SELECT   FROM Results CTE WHERE RowNum  gt    Offset AND RowNum  lt   Offset    Limit

as you found  this is the preferred sql server method   SELECT   FROM      SELECT    ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY name  as row FROM sys databases     a WHERE a row  gt  5 and a row  lt   10

The LIMIT clause is not part of standard SQL   It s supported as a vendor extension to SQL by MySQL  PostgreSQL  and SQLite     Other brands of database may have similar features  e g  TOP in Microsoft SQL Server   but these don t always work identically   It s hard to use TOP in Microsoft SQL Server to mimic the LIMIT clause   There are cases where it just doesn t work   The solution you showed  using ROW NUMBER   is available in Microsoft SQL Server 2005 and later   This is the best solution  for now  that works solely as part of the query   Another solution is to use TOP to fetch the first count   offset rows  and then use the API to seek past the first offset rows   See also     Emulate MySQL LIMIT clause in Microsoft SQL Server 2000   Paging of Large Resultsets in ASP NET

From the MS SQL Server online documentation  http   technet microsoft com en-us library ms186734 aspx    here is their example that I have tested and works  for retrieving a specific set of rows   ROW NUMBER requires an OVER  but you can order by whatever you like   WITH OrderedOrders AS     SELECT SalesOrderID  OrderDate    ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY OrderDate  AS RowNumber   FROM Sales SalesOrderHeader     SELECT SalesOrderID  OrderDate  RowNumber   FROM OrderedOrders  WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 50 AND 60

A good way is to create a procedure   create proc pagination   startfrom int   endto int  as SELECT   FROM      SELECT    ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY name desc  as row FROM sys databases     a WHERE a row  gt   startfrom and a row  lt    endto   just like limit 0 2                 execute pagination 0 4

Use all SQL server   with tbl as  SELECT ROW NUMBER   over order by select 1   as RowIndex   from table   select top 10   from tbl where RowIndex  10

How about this    SET ROWCOUNT 10   SELECT TOP 20   FROM sys databases ORDER BY database id DESC   It gives you the last 10 rows of the first 20 rows  One drawback is that the order is reversed  but  at least it s easy to remember

User · Answer

Unfortunately  the ROW NUMBER   is the best you can do   It s actually more correct  because the results of a limit or top clause don t really have meaning without respect to some specific order   But it s still a pain to do   Update  Sql Server 2012 adds a limit -like feature via OFFSET and FETCH keywords  This is the ansi-standard approach  as opposed to LIMIT  which is a non-standard MySql extension
