User · Answer

better use this in MSSQLExpress 2017    SELECT   FROM       SELECT ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY  SELECT 0   as  Count     FROM table1   as a WHERE  Count  BETWEEN 10 and 20    --Giving a Column  Count  and assigning every row a unique counting without ordering something then re select again where you can provide your limits

Starting SQL SERVER 2005  you can do this     USE AdventureWorks  GO WITH OrderedOrders AS       SELECT SalesOrderID  OrderDate      ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY OrderDate  AS  RowNumber      FROM Sales SalesOrderHeader     SELECT    FROM OrderedOrders  WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 10 AND 20    or something like this for 2000 and below versions     SELECT TOP 10   FROM  SELECT TOP 20 FROM Table ORDER BY Id  ORDER BY Id DESC

This is one of the reasons I try to avoid using MS Server    but anyway  Sometimes you just don t have an option  yei  and I have to use an outdated version      My suggestion is to create a virtual table   From   SELECT   FROM table   To   CREATE VIEW v table AS         SELECT ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY table key  AS row   FROM table   Then just query   SELECT   FROM v table WHERE row BETWEEN 10 AND 20   If fields are added  or removed   row  is updated automatically   The main problem with this option is that ORDER BY is fixed  So if you want a different order  you would have to create another view   UPDATE  There is another problem with this approach  if you try to filter your data  it won t work as expected  For example  if you do    SELECT   FROM v table WHERE field    test  AND row BETWEEN 10 AND 20   WHERE becomes limited to those data which are in the rows between 10 and 20  instead of searching the whole dataset and limiting the output

Syntactically MySQL LIMIT query is something like this   SELECT   FROM table LIMIT OFFSET  ROW COUNT   This can be translated into Microsoft SQL Server like  SELECT   FROM        SELECT TOP   OFFSET ROW COUNT     ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY  SELECT 1   AS rnum      FROM table   a WHERE rnum  gt  OFFSET   Now your query select   from table1 LIMIT 10 20 will be like this   SELECT   FROM        SELECT TOP 30    ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY  SELECT 1   AS rnum      FROM table1   a WHERE rnum  gt  10

Must try  In below query  you can see group by  order by  Skip rows  and limit rows   select emp no   sum salary amount  from emp salary Group by emp no  ORDER BY emp no  OFFSET 5 ROWS       -- Skip first 5  FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY  -- limit to retrieve next 10 row after skiping rows

This is how I limit the results in MS SQL Server 2012   SELECT    FROM table1 ORDER BY columnName   OFFSET 10 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY   NOTE  OFFSET can only be used with or in tandem to ORDER BY   To explain the code line OFFSET xx ROWS FETCH NEXT yy ROW ONLY  The xx is the record row number you want to start pulling from in the table  i e  If there are 40 records in table 1  the code above will start pulling from row 10   The yy is the number of records rows you want to pull from the table   To build on the previous example  If table 1 has 40 records and you began pulling from row 10 and grab the NEXT set of 10  yy    That would mean   the code above will pull the records from table 1 starting at row 10 and ending at 20  Thus pulling rows 10 - 20   Check out the link for more info on OFFSET

If your ID is unique identifier type or your id in table is not sorted you must do like this below    select   from  select ROW NUMBER   OVER  ORDER BY  select 0   AS RowNumber   from table1  a where a RowNumber between 2 and 5    The code will be   select   from limit 2 5

In SQL there s no LIMIT keyword exists  If you only need a limited number of rows you should use a TOP keyword which is similar to a LIMIT

This is almost a duplicate of a question I asked in October  Emulate MySQL LIMIT clause in Microsoft SQL Server 2000  If you re using Microsoft SQL Server 2000  there is no good solution   Most people  have to resort to capturing the result of the query in a temporary table with a IDENTITY primary key   Then query against the primary key column using a BETWEEN condition   If you re using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later  you have a ROW NUMBER   function  so you can get the same result but avoid the temporary table   SELECT t1   FROM       SELECT ROW NUMBER OVER ORDER BY id  AS row  t1       FROM      original SQL query      t1   t2 WHERE t2 row BETWEEN  offset 1 AND  offset  count    You can also write this as a common table expression as shown in  Leon Tayson s answer

Clunky  but it ll work   SELECT TOP 10   FROM table WHERE id NOT IN  SELECT TOP 10 id FROM table ORDER BY id  FROM table ORDER BY id   MSSQL s omission of a LIMIT clause is criminal  IMO  You shouldn t have to do this kind of kludgy workaround

If i remember correctly  it s been a while since i dabbed with SQL Server  you may be able to use something like this   2005 and up   SELECT           ROW NUMBER   OVER ORDER BY SomeFields  AS  RowNum  FROM SomeTable WHERE RowNum BETWEEN 10 AND 20

User · Answer

Starting with SQL SERVER 2012  you can use the OFFSET FETCH Clause  USE AdventureWorks  GO SELECT SalesOrderID  OrderDate FROM Sales SalesOrderHeader  ORDER BY SalesOrderID     OFFSET 10 ROWS     FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY  GO  http   msdn microsoft com en-us library ms188385 v sql 110  aspx This may not work correctly when the order by is not unique  If the query is modified to ORDER BY OrderDate  the result set returned is not as expected
