Equivalent of LIMIT and OFFSET for SQL Server?

Question

In PostgreSQL there is the Limit and Offset keywords which will allow very easy pagination of result sets.

What is the equivalent syntax f

Answer 1

Since nobody provided this code yet:

SELECT TOP @limit f1, f2, f3...
FROM t1
WHERE c1 = v1, c2 > v2...
AND
    t1.id NOT IN
        (SELECT TOP @offset id
         FROM t1
         WHERE c1 = v1, c2 > v2...
         ORDER BY o1, o2...)
ORDER BY o1, o2...

Important points:

• ORDER BY must be identical
• @limit can be replaced with number of results to retrieve,
• @offset is number of results to skip
• Please compare performance with previous solutions as they may be more efficient
• this solution duplicates where and order by clauses, and will provide incorrect results if they are out of sync
• on the other hand order by is there explicitly if that's what's needed
