LIMIT And OFFSET
Aug 27, 2007
Please, please, please, please just add limit/offset to the language.
7 years of working around this unnecessary limitation are enough. And that's just me personally, i'm sure there are those out there with a longer history and are more irritated. I know this isn't the first post on this here, nor will it be the last. I think that should be taken as a hint, and something should be done about this. Something like this:
SELECT column FROM table LIMIT 10 OFFSET 10
See, it wasn't that hard =) Now there are no ugly contortions to go through just to paginate the data. And don't recommend I return all 20k rows and do it on the client side, m'kay, or write ridiculous sql. It seems that for all the hard work that went into making those other features work that this could have been done. Don't lie, you know it could have! If there was a voting feature for suggested improvments, or a bug tracker + watch list that functioned the same, it would help. Others do that, as well.
//Another Annoyed DeveloperAnd seeing as there aren't any feature/suggestion channels that work (see:connect), I guess this forum is the best we can do. Sorry.

I have a query in MySQL which needs to be translated to an equivalent in MSSQL Server. The query uses a LIMIT clause with an offset.
select * from test LIMIT 10,5
(meaning from the 10th row containing 5 rows in the result set)
How can we port the same logic to SQL Server ? I know TOP can retrieve top n rows but how can we specify the offset ?
Any help is appreciated !

Hi,
I need the equivalent for below mysql query :
select *from test limit 5, 20
I know that the below is possible in SQL Server :
select top 20 * from test where column1 not in (select top 5 column1 from test).
But my problem is I want a generic solution wherein I will not be aware of the columns available within the table.
Please advice,
- Mira

I have a query which can return multiple rows. I want to select only the nth row. In other db languages, this is achieved using the OFFSET command, but in SQL Server this command does not exist. I saw that you can hack it using ROWCOUNT and an ORDER BY clause, but I don't have anything to order by. Is there some other way to do this? My query is
Code:
SELECT S.SystemName FROM Projects AS P INNER JOIN ProjectSystems AS PS ON PS.ProjectId = P.ProjectId LEFT JOIN Systems AS S ON S.SystemId = PS.SystemID WHERE P.ProjectId = @ProjectID
This will select an example result of:
Code:
System Name
System 1
Test System 2
Test 123
How can I do something like (psuedo code)
Select Row @row From query

What is the fastest way to select a value offset by n rows from the start row? I used to use a cursor with FETCH ABSOLUTE in Sybase SQLAnywhere, but this is incredibly slow in SQL Server. Here's the current function I'm using:
FUNCTION dbo.TradingDaysBack ( @ItemID int, @FromDate smalldatetime, @DaysBack int )
RETURNS smalldatetime
AS
BEGIN
declare @BackDay int
declare @OADay int
set @OADay = dbo.GetOADate(@FromDate)
declare curDaysBack cursor scroll for
select OADate
fromData_Daily
whereItemID = @ItemID and OADate <= @OADay
order byOADate desc
open curDaysBack
fetch absolute @DaysBack
from curDaysBack
into@BackDay
close curDaysBack
deallocate curDaysBack
if @BackDay is null
begin
set @BackDay= ( select Min(OADate) from Data_Daily where ItemID = @ItemID and OADate <= @OADay )
end
RETURN convert(smalldatetime, @BackDay)
END
The idea is to get the date n rows of data back from the starting date (i.e. 30 trading days back from 12/1/2003). Any ideas?

In MS SQL 2000, I would like to obtain the timezone offset from UTC fora given date. For today's date, I can doDATEDIFF(ss,GETDATE(),GETUTCDATE()). However, the offset for a futuredate may not be the same as today because some countries go in DaylightSaving mode. Can you suggest a way to obtain the timezone offset forany given date?ThanksYash

Hi,
Sorry I have to post this here, but its sort of related to MS SQL anyway
I'm running a PHP system with MS Access. I need to order results in pages. (For those who are familiar with MySqL and Postgresql - I need the equivalent to LIMIT/OFFSET in MS Access).
I know I can "SELECT TOP 50" in my sql - so that solves the number of results per page.
But what about page 2,3,4..etc.... how do I select results from an offset?
There doesnt seem to be a solution for it
Thanks!

I have a store procedure who receive an xml file.
In this store procedure I try to put all record in temporary table for some treatement ..
But I have a problem with one field ...
When I execute the code below I receive this error message :
The conversion of a datetimeoffset data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range value.
The problem comes from the field DeleteDate from the second row of the xml file
how I can get the correct conversion for this field ?
declare @tbl table(actorPersonId int, personType int, actorType int, person int
, firstName varchar(100), surname varchar(100), phone varchar(100), email varchar(100)
, publication int, logUsr varchar(20), active bit, delDate datetime )

We recently translated the backend db from Access(97) to SQL Server.We are still using Access frontends. I have an update query in theAccess front end that uses a lookup table to populate fields. Thecommon fields between the table and the lookup table are the primarykey (LocID) and date & time fields. The query is:UPDATE tblPT_Offsets INNER JOIN tblPT ON tblPT_Offsets.LocID =tblPT.LocID SET tblPT.Offset_ft = [tblPT_Offsets].[Offset_ft],tblPT.Salinity = [tblPT_Offsets].[Salinity]WHERE (((tblPT.Offset_ft) Is Null) AND ((tblPT.Salinity) Is Null) AND((Format([Date]+[Time],"mm/dd/yy hh:nn")) Between [StartDate] And[EndDate]));This worked fine in Access and seemed to work fine after switching toAccess, but on closer look, there is exactly a 2 day error beingintroduced. A quick search of the newsgroups brings up lots of Accessto SQL date problems, but a 2 day offset seems rather strange? Anyideas??I know the field names Date and Time are inappropriate, but legacyissues are a pain in the butt to resolve!! Could this be a problem?David

I have the follwing function in my SQL data base which is hosted in Azure.
All date and time field in my db are store as UTC and I have a function define as below :
ALTER FUNCTION [dbo].[func_GetCurrentLocalTimeFromUTC]
(
)
RETURNS datetime
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @OffSet as int = 1
DECLARE @CurrentDate as datetime = getUTCdate()
[Code] ...
Now what I have trying to do is to perform a select statement on a table where I have a dateTime value field and add the proper offset value to the field in order it is display based on where user will run the query. For example if I run this simple query :
SELECT INVENTORYDATE from Inventory
Will return the UTC dateTime value.
How can I use the select statement in order to get the field format with proper offset based on user pc timezone/. Please note that the query will be called from a rrs.

I have following simple code in my stored proc. even I have hard coded OFFSET to non zero, but it always return result from starting point 0. End limit "Fetch Next" is working perfect.Only problem is with start.
SELECT
*
FROM #invoices
ORDER BY #invoices.InvoiceDateTime ASC
OFFSET @StartRow ROWS Fetch NEXT @EndRow ROWS ONLY;

I'm getting a file that essentially has a parameter array: a specific like would have three known values, and then x number of groups of four parts;
The question is how to handle logical groups of parameters; i though maybe by using a modulous on their itemnumber ...
So I can easily use DelimitedSplit8K to definitively find the first thee values, but how do I dynamically get X number of groups of four; eventually i need the first three fields combined with each quadgroup.
So a rough example of the desired output is this:
this:
'03,0000001,USD,010,81257946,,,015,121809761,,'is split into rows with the first three columns included in each row:
030000001USD01081257946NULLNULL
030000001USD015121809761NULLNULL
Here's a setup i've put together:
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb.[dbo].[#AccountIdentifier]') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE [dbo].[#AccountIdentifier]
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[#AccountIdentifier] (
[AccountIdentifierID] INT IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[DateReceived] DATETIME NULL DEFAULT getdate(),
[RecordCode] VARCHAR(3) NULL,
[Code] ....

I'm sure I am not undestanding some basic concept here but the following formula always produces an invalid token error at the '-' sign. In this example, I'm trying to subtract out a specific month from the total (this is a simplified example, my actual formula needs to compute a % change over time using lag...)
This produces the invalid token error (it always errors at the '-' in the equation)
with member [Measures].[MyCalcMeasure] as [Measures].[MyBaseMeasure]-([Date Submitted].[Date Submitted YQMD].[month].&[2008]&[1],[Measures].[MyBaseMeasure])
select [Measures].[MyCalcMeasure] on columns,
[MyDim].[MyHierarchy].[Level1].members on rows
from MyCube
But this works
with member [Measures].[MyCalcMeasure] as [Measures].[MyBaseMeasure]
select [Measures].[MyCalcMeasure] on columns,
[MyDim].[MyHierarchy].[Level1].members on rows
from MyCube
As does this
with member [Measures].[MyCalcMeasure] as ([Date Submitted].[Date Submitted YQMD].[month].&[2008]&[1],[Measures].[MyBaseMeasure])
select [Measures].[MyCalcMeasure] on columns,
[MyDim].[MyHierarchy].[Level1].members on rows
from MyCube
What am I missing?

Hi there guys!
I was wondering if anyone know the number of rows you can import from an external source into MS SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition?
I have tried importing a whole table from another database with over a million records. But failed after 1.7 million row.
Any ideas?
Thank you!

When creating a database, SQL Server 6.5 seems to have a 2 gig limit. What I mean is that if the device chosen is over 2 gigs SQL Server displays the size of the device as anegative number. This prevents me from being able to expand the database when I need to. Can anyone tell me why this is so, and if there`s anyway around it??

Hi There
I recently read up and found an msdn forum post that said the 4gb limit only applied to data files not log files.
However recently i had an error on a sql express database saying that the log file was full, the database log file was set to auto grow and there was plenty of space left.
So i am guessing the 4gb limit applies to any database file mdf or ldf, is this correct ?
Thanx

hi,i have a union statement that works like a charm:SELECT
[Name],
[EventID] AS [ItemID],
[TourID],
[Date],
NULL AS [StartDate],
[Date] AS [SortDate],
[Type] FROM [Events]
WHERE
[TourID] IS NULL
AND
AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel
UNION
SELECT
[Name],
[TourID] AS [ItemID],
[TourID],
NULL AS [Date],
[StartDate],
[StartDate] AS [SortDate],
'2' AS [Type]
FROM
[Tours]
WHERE
AccessLevel <= @AuthenticationLevel
ORDER BY
[SortDate] this statement selects all the records i want from both tables, and orders the entire new table by sort date.what i want to do is to add a limitation on the number of records. i have tried using both LIMIT and TOP commands, but i can't get it working. both of the below statements give me a syntax error saying "Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'ORDER'"first try:SELECT * FROM (<same_statement_as_above>) ORDER BY [SortDate] LIMIT 2second try:SELECT TOP 2 * FROM (<same_statement_as_above>) ORDER BY [SortDate]what am i doing wrong, and how do i achieve what i want?i am working with mssql server 2005 (express locally, and standard on my hosting service). thanks for your help!

Hi,
I have an application with a DAL that has an interface with SQL Server.
The application has 400 users that open the web forms.
My question is:
Is there a limit of the parallel connections that can be opened? Or the IIS is managing all the access to the DB? Should I worry about the performance Or it's normal behaviour for ASP.NET applications?
Thanks

HOST_NAME())
So I don't want anybody to see even structure of this table(Orders.dbo.PersonalInfo ).
if person loged as "Myuser" he can use
1. sp_help PersonalInfoChangeLog
2.Enterpise Manager to see properties of the table
How can limit rights to see structure without generating Application role ?

to simulate the limit function in mysql.

select top 20 * from t
where pkc not in (select top @counter pkc from t order by pkc) order by pkc
it gives me in an error in sproc. Pls help!!

There is at present (as we accidently found) limitation of MSSQL to return per row maximally 8060 bytes. Message like this comes: "Cannot create a row of size 8279 which is greater than the allowable maximum of 8060".
My questions are :
- Is there any way how to pass it? If I split into more tables (as I have it now) and ask for result where these tables are connected over any ID the result is the same. If I use stored procedures it seems to be ok. Any other idea?
- Will be this ok in SQL server 2005?

MySQL has a convenient syntax for paging data that looks like this:
SELECT * FROM MyTable LIMIT 10, 20
That would select 10 records, starting from record 20, so that it returns records 20 - 30. This is convenient way to page data, without returning anymore rows than than you need.
However, MS SQL doesn't appear to support that syntax. What is the equivalent sql code to select any N rows from an arbitrary starting point, without having to create a stored procedure?
Thanks in advance :)

Quick question, is there a record limit in MSSQL assuming that we don't use a identity key. I am going to be using a table to sava mail server logs. It will create about 5000 records a minute. Also are there any perfomrance issues once you reach a certain numberof records, assuiming i am indexing one of the columns.

I have a extremely large table and out of that I just need 2 records but based on some logic . For example
IF EMPLOYEE_ADDRESS <> NULL
set Employee_HAS_HOME to 1
ELSE
set Employee_HAS_HOME to 0
Here I can not use just first 1000 records as I am not sure If I will cover the second condition in first 1000 rows . Then I came up with solution like : -
select * from employee_table where employee_address <> NULL LIMIT 1
UNION
select * from employee_table where employee_address = NULL LIMIT 1
And this will give me 2 records which I can use for my testing . But unfortunately this is not working.

Any suggestion would be appreciated.
thanks
