I am looking for a function in MSSQL that performs similar to the LIMIT function in MySQL. Here is the LIMIT function's definition:
The LIMIT clause can be used to constrain the number of rows returned by the SELECT statement. LIMIT takes one or two numeric arguments, which must be integer constants.
With two arguments, the first argument specifies the offset of the first row to return, and the second specifies the maximum number of rows to return. The offset of the initial row is 0 (not 1):
I have used this mysql code in my programm before:
select * from address order by vorname asc limit 0, 10
It works fine. But now I want to use sql server, and it doesn't recognize the term limit. So I have found out that I can use top instead. I have changed my code into this:
select top 0 * from (select top 10* from address order by vorname) order by vorname asc
hey all, i want to know Equivalent of "LIMIT" of MySQL in SQL Server 2005? in mysql we can direclty get data using LIMIT clause. my question is how to do this in sql server 2005? thanks.
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?
Hello all, I spent the last two days trying to find an application that can export a mySQL database into msSQL syntax so that I can then use that to just create my msSQL database. I have had no such luck, though I could find a bunch to do msSQL to mySQL. Please let me know if anyone has one or knows of one that works because I really do not want to hand port my 70 table database from mySQL to msSQL Thanks in advance, Anthony F Greco
i have dumped a mysql database to my my documents folder on my server, how can i convert this to a mssql database.

Hi, I've been coding in C#/ASP.NET for a little while now, but I've only ever used MS SQL.I'm starting a new project at work soon, and our host provides free MySQL databases but charges for MS SQL databases. What are the pros/cons for each of these databases, and how much conversion would be required in an existing C#/ASP.NET application if I wanted to change from MS SQL to MySQL? I assume the syntax/commands to operate a C# app with MS SQL are different to the ones required to communicate with a MySQL database? I'll probably stick with MS SQL because it's what I know, but I'd like to get familiar with MySQL as it might come in handy one day.Thanks, any information is greatly appreciated.
I was asked to program a site in coldfusion using mssql, but i have only used mysql in the past. i heard mssql has all the functions mysql has, but mysql does not have everything mssql does.. so if i programmed it in mysql, it should work? right? is there a free download to test mssql or only a buy version?
hi,all i have a database in MySQL with approximately 1600 records that must be converted into MSSQL. There are too many converters but they are not free to download. What would you recommend me to do among several solutions like first converting to access or excel and then importing them into MSSQL etc..? Thanks all in advance.
i need a simple way to do this since im gonna need to do it every single week most probably so any help would be apreciated. if i dont have anything by monday it start coding one. Btw im using mysql 5 and SQL server express 2005
I'm creating a software, and I have a dilemn... To check it I use MySQL, but I want my software to use a lot of kind of différent DB (oracle, DB2, informix, etc...)
But I have to know :
Does MSSQL support something like that (and if not how to do it) :

????
thank you very much for a quick answer, because All development depend of the answer !!!

Hello, I'm trying to use sql to create a db, but the file the guy gave me is MySql. I tried a few things, and then I asked him to try to migrate it to MSSql for me, but it's still giving me this error:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Line 1 Incorrect syntax near 'meteor'.
Hi i have recently developed a perl/mysql application but now i need to migrate all my databases and tables from mysql to mssql can anybody explain the simplest way to do this. I already have used Mysql's migration toolkit to migrate from access to mysql does mssql have any tools like this? Please let me know
I'm converting to mssql. I've been using the following statement in a php query with mysql.
$result = mysql_query ("SELECT * FROM inks i, sample s, customer c, press pr WHERE s.JobNum like '$JobNum%' and c.CustName like '$CustName%' and pr.PressID like '$PressID%' and s.InkID like'$InkID%' and c.CustNum=s.CustNum and pr.PressID=s.PressID and i.InkID=s.InkID and s.Bindery like'%$Bindery%'"); This allowed me to select a press and/or certain paper and/or certain ink, etc. Allowed me to select any combination needed to find.
Now when I use this statement I don't get any results. I have the following which works if I select items in all categories, but that isn't always possible. I need a wildcard selection if we don't know or don't care what press it was run on or what paper was run on a press or what ink was used to print, etc
$result = mssql_query ("SELECT * FROM text t, cover cv, sample s, customer c, press p WHERE (s.PressID like '$PressID' and p.PressID = s.PressID and c.CustNum=s.CustNum and t.TextPaperID=s.PaperTextID and cv.CoverPaperID=s.PaperCoverID) and (s.PaperTextID = '$TextPaperID' and t.TextPaperID=s.PaperTextID and p.PressID = s.PressID and c.CustNum=s.CustNum and cv.CoverPaperID=s.PaperCoverID) and (s.PaperCoverID = '$CoverPaperID' and t.CoverPaperID=s.PaperCoverID and p.PressID = s.PressID and c.CustNum=s.CustNum and cv.TextPaperID=s.PaperTextID) order by CustName");
I'm developing website for online test/assessments and I want to know what database is best for my project between Mysql and MSsql. There will be a lot of users writing concurently/ similtaneously to database.
I have to port a database from MSSQL to MySQL. I'm really a newbie with MSSQL and I need some hints on how to do this task.
I received a .bak file which my boss told me that this a backup of the database I have to port.
Then I installed MSQL 2000 developer edition on my workstation and then started playing with it.
The problem is that I don't know how to connect to the database... and with what application do some queries. In mysql I use phpMyAdmin which is really useful. Is there something similar for SQL server? Or something like sqlplus under Oracle?
Moreover how can I install the .BAK file they sent me on my MSSQL install in order to recreate the db on my workstation??
My goal is to make from time to time a (one way) replication from MSSQL server (Win2K) to MySQL (Linux, i mean no ODBC here).
Is it possible and how ?
The preferable way is to use the MSSQL's replication features, but I have another idea - a simple (php, perl - no matter) program on the linux machine which will be "cron"-ed to run at the requested time intervals.
What are your recommendings ? Thanks in advance for every kind of help.
I have been using MySQL for a long time but because of company policy changes I have started to switch from MySQL to MsSQL
OMG MsSQL is very slow with every thing it does compared to MySQL. I.e updating 300.000+) data in a table with 15 million+ records using 'update' syntax. In MySQL it was done in 4 minutes. In MsSQL it was not done in 20 minutes (and then I stoped it in anger)
I have a script that I have created to give our daily revenue. In MySQL that takes 30 sec to finish. In MsSQL it takes atleast 1.30 minutes.
I have 1,5G of memory and MsSQL uses it all. MySQL uses 200mb at most.
What am I doing wrong. Is it the memory or what can it be? I have indexed the tables in the same way. I really don't know what to do anymore.
