the MS SQL equivalent to MySQL's 'limit' command The MS SQL eqivalent of MySQL's LIMIT clause is TOP. Example:
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM stuff;
Will return the top ten rows, effectively doing the same thing as
SELET * FROM stuff LIMIT 10;
This was found here and has been verified by me that it actually works.

| thanks you helped me like nythin | | |
| I think anybody can get to like nythin if they give it a chance. | | |
well almost,
starting with MySQL 4 you can do LIMIT 10, 1000
which will give you a block of 1000 records starting at 10
is there anything similar to this in sql server? i don't think so. | | |
limit x, y - MySQL
MSSQL version :
select top y *
from <table>
where <unique id> not in (select top x <unique id> from <table> order by <unique id>)
from <table> order by <unique id>
| | |
there are at least 2 solutions:
select top * from ( select top * from table order by column )
order by column
and
select * from
(
select top * from
(
select top (+) from table order by column ASC
) T1 order by column DESC
) T2 order by column ASC
I "think" the first is better | | |
Y si lo manejamos con el between?
where id between x and y
? | | |
Juan Pablo, el "between" no funciona sobre MSSQL...
Hasta luego !

Florin,
Don't think your solution will work, well the first one doesn't. If I want records 1 through 5 or 0 through 5 it doesn't account for that.
| | |
| This method doesn't support ordering over calculated fields! Any work around? | | |
SUPPOSE THERE IS A TBALE AS MARKLIST
LIKE| TABLE : MARKS |
|---|
| ID | NAME | TOT_MARKS | | 1 | ANDREWS | 50 | | 2 | SYMONDS | 25 | | 3 | MATHEW | 70 | | 4 | ROY | 40 | | 5 | MARY | 35 | | 6 | CLINTON | 65 | | 7 | MARCEL | 80 | | 8 | PABLO | 60 |
AND YOU WANT TO SELECT 3RD TO 5TH TOP SCORERS
YOU USE :-
SELECT TOP 3 * FROM MARKS WHERE ID NOT IN (SELECT TOP 2 * ID FROM MARKS ORDER BY TOT_MARKS) ORDER BY TOT_MARKS
OUTPUT WILL BE->
| ID | NAME | TOT_MARKS | | 3 | MATHEW | 70 | | 4 | ROY | 40 | | 5 | MARY | 35 | I THINK IT WILL HELP THOSE HAVE THE SAME DOUBT | | |

| Its very useful for me Thanks very much. | | |
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT TOP (3) *
FROM (SELECT *
FROM (SELECT TOP (5) *
FROM cisla
ORDER BY id)
ORDER BY id DESC)
ORDER BY id DESC)
ORDER BY id | | |
| rows from 3 to 5, in table called "cisla" and column is named "id", its PK | | |
and the shorter version.. i think, that one version like this is above:
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT TOP (3) *
FROM (SELECT TOP (5) *
FROM cisla
ORDER BY id)
ORDER BY id DESC)
ORDER BY id
"cisla" is the name of table, "id" is column | | |
| MSSQL's solution for MySQL limit is a joke. | | |
Thank you guys this was really very appreciated It helped a lot
cheers | | |
| Not very helpful to be honest. Limit will get a RANGE of records from a database but TOP only gets the top x records. | | |
| I agree, MSSQL is a joke. I need a LIMIT 1 for an UPDATE. | | |
Here's Proper Solution..
WITH ORDERED AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS RowNumber, ID, NAME, TOT_MARKS FROM [MARKS]
)
SELECT ID, NAME, TOT_MARKS FROM ORDERED WHERE RowNumber >= 3 AND RowNumber <=5 | | |
| Hey Dustin, What makes you random? | | |
Awsome!
I can't always remember all of the DBMS syntax that I have to work with. My favorite thing about MS SQL is that it works so that I can meet my clients requirements and get paid.
Cheers.

| Why spend all the $$ to use MS software when open source software is available for a free download and usually has fewer problems than anything MS? | | |
This is MSSQL Damn! I cant believe people cant see the difference...
Microsoft SQL Server
If you want the MYSQL you need to use:
SELECT * FROM tbl LIMIT 10;
# Retrieve first 10 rows
Regards | | |
Hey guys....
u try to assess MS SQL with that silly limt case??? | | |
John Bowling:
sometimes, we are required to use mssql by our workplace
If I had it my way, I would always use MySql, however, most non-technical businesses tend to go the all MS route. I am just happy I was atleast able to use PHP instead of ASP! | | |
SELECT * FROM (select row_number() over (order by ID) as rownum, ID, NAME, TOT_MARKS FROM [MARKS]
) as A where A.rownum BETWEEN (3) and (5) | | |
| what's wrong with ms sql?!! wtf! | | |
