Question : Pagination query with MSSQL Server

Hii,

I am using the following for doing the pagination in Oracle.

SELECT * FROM (SELECT tt.*, ROWNUM ROWNO   FROM (
 SELECT
 blah...blah..
 FROM table
 WHERE some=some ) tt  WHERE ROWNUM <= 20)  WHERE ROWNO >0

How can i emulate it for MS SQL Server?

Any ideas please.

Thanks
aks

Answer : Pagination query with MSSQL Server

Hi aks143,


The best I have for paging with MS SQL is ...

in MySQL :
SELECT * FROM test order by idtest LIMIT 3000, 20

in MSSQL :
select * from (select top 20 * from (select top 3020 * from test order by
idtest) as t1 order by idtest DESC) as t2 order by idtest


This is from my own pager notes. MySQL supports paging, MSSQL does not. I have the comment "You can also use SET ROWCOUNT before the main select". Maybe useful.


set rowcount $limit
select * from Table1 where pk in(
select top $total pk from Table1 order by pk desc )order by pk



Table1: name of the table
PK : Primary Key of Table1
$limit : The number of records you need each time $total : Total number of records in each time

The only thing you need to do is to get the total number of records (select
count(*)) for the first $total value then $n =$total/$limit

//Forloading next page
$total = $total - $limit
//then run the sql statement with new $totalvalue

//For loading page 2
$total = $total - ($limit)*2

//For loading page n
$total = $total - ($limit)*n


1-You can put this code in a stored procedure and pass $limit and $total
values when you calling the stored procedure or you can use it in your php
code

2-You can change the SQL statement to work with your search-query results
instead of Table1
