This works with all DBRM SQL  it is standard ANSI   SELECT     FROM owner tablename A  WHERE condition   AND  n 1  lt              SELECT COUNT DISTINCT b column order             FROM owner tablename B           WHERE condition             AND b column order gt a column order             ORDER BY a column order DESC

In Faircom SQL  which is a pseudo MySQL   i can do this in a super simple SQL Statement  just as follows   SELECT SKIP 10   FROM TABLE ORDER BY Id   Obviously you can just replace 10 with any declared variable of your desire   I don t have access to MS SQL or other platforms  but I ll be really surprised MS SQL doesn t support something like this

I know it s quite late now to answer the query  But I have a little different solution than the others which I believe has better performance because no comparisons are performed in the SQL query only sorting is done  You can see its considerable performance improvement basically when value of SKIP is LARGE enough    Best performance but only for SQL Server 2012 and above  Originally from  Majid Basirati s answer which is worth mentioning again   DECLARE  Skip INT   2   Take INT   2  SELECT   FROM TABLE NAME ORDER BY ID ASC OFFSET   Skip  ROWS FETCH NEXT   Take  ROWS ONLY  Not as Good as the first one but compatible with SQL Server 2005 and above   DECLARE  Skip INT   2   Take INT   2  SELECT   FROM        SELECT TOP   Take    FROM                SELECT TOP   Take    Skip    FROM TABLE NAME         ORDER BY ID ASC       T1     ORDER BY ID DESC   T2 ORDER BY ID ASC

Query  in sql-server  DECLARE  N INT   5 --Any random number  SELECT   FROM           SELECT ROW NUMBER   OVER ORDER BY ID  AS RoNum                 ID --Add any fields needed here  or replace ID by            FROM TABLE NAME   AS tbl  WHERE  N  lt  RoNum ORDER BY tbl ID   This will give rows of Table  where rownumber is starting from  N   1

For SQL Server 2012 and later versions  the best method is  MajidBasirati s answer    I also loved  CarlosToledo s answer  it s not limited to any SQL Server version but it s missing Order By Clauses  Without them  it may return wrong results    For SQL Server 2008 and later I would use Common Table Expressions for better performance    -- This example omits first 10 records and select next 5 records  WITH MyCTE Id  as       SELECT TOP  10  Id      FROM MY TABLE     ORDER BY Id   SELECT TOP  5     FROM MY TABLE     INNER JOIN MyCTE ON  MyCTE Id  lt  gt  MY TABLE Id   ORDER BY Id

Do you want something like in LINQ skip 5 and take 10   SELECT TOP 10    FROM MY TABLE   WHERE ID not in  SELECT TOP 5  ID From My TABLE     This approach will work in any SQL version

SQL Server   select   from table except select top N   from table   Oracle up to 11 2   select   from table minus select   from table where rownum  lt   N  with TableWithNum as       select t    rownum as Num     from Table t   select   from TableWithNum where Num  gt  N   Oracle 12 1 and later  following standard ANSI SQL   select   from table order by some column  offset x rows fetch first y rows only   They may meet your needs more or less   There is no direct way to do what you want by SQL  However  it is not a design flaw  in my opinion    SQL is not supposed to be used like this   In relational databases  a table represents a relation  which is a set by definition  A set contains unordered elements   Also  don t rely on the physical order of the records  The row order is not guaranteed by the RDBMS   If the ordering of the records is important  you d better add a column such as  Num  to the table  and use the following query  This is more natural   select    from Table  where Num  gt  N order by Num

In order to do this in SQL Server  you must order the query by a column  so you can specify the rows you want   Example   select   from table order by  some column   offset 10 rows FETCH NEXT 10 rows only
