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

Specifically for SQL-SERVER you can achieve that in many different ways.For given real example we took Customer table here.

Example 1: With "SET ROWCOUNT"

SET ROWCOUNT 10
SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName from Customers
ORDER BY CompanyName

To return all rows, set ROWCOUNT to 0

SET ROWCOUNT 0  
SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName from Customers
    ORDER BY CompanyName

Example 2: With "ROW_NUMBER and OVER"

With Cust AS
( SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (order by CompanyName) as RowNumber 
FROM Customers )
select *
from Cust
Where RowNumber Between 0 and 10

Example 3 : With "OFFSET and FETCH", But with this "ORDER BY" is mandatory

SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers
ORDER BY CompanyName
OFFSET 0 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY

Hope this helps you.
