Implement paging (skip / take) functionality with this query
(6 answers)
Closed 1 year ago.
I have this query with MySQL:
select * from table1 LIMIT 10,20
How can I do this with SQL Server?
Starting SQL SERVER 2005, you can do this...
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
WITH OrderedOrders AS
(
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderDate) AS 'RowNumber'
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
)
SELECT *
FROM OrderedOrders
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 10 AND 20;
or something like this for 2000 and below versions...
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM (SELECT TOP 20 FROM Table ORDER BY Id) ORDER BY Id DESC
Starting with SQL SERVER 2012, you can use the OFFSET FETCH Clause:
USE AdventureWorks;
GO
SELECT SalesOrderID, OrderDate
FROM Sales.SalesOrderHeader
ORDER BY SalesOrderID
OFFSET 10 ROWS
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY;
GO
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms188385(v=sql.110).aspx
This may not work correctly when the order by is not unique.
If the query is modified to ORDER BY OrderDate, the result set returned is not as expected.
This is how I limit the results in MS SQL Server 2012:
SELECT *
FROM table1
ORDER BY columnName
OFFSET 10 ROWS FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY
NOTE: OFFSET can only be used with or in tandem to ORDER BY.
To explain the code line OFFSET xx ROWS FETCH NEXT yy ROW ONLY
The xx is the record/row number you want to start pulling from in the table, i.e: If there are 40 records in table 1, the code above will start pulling from row 10.
The yy is the number of records/rows you want to pull from the table.
To build on the previous example: If table 1 has 40 records and you began pulling from row 10 and grab the NEXT set of 10 (yy).
That would mean, the code above will pull the records from table 1 starting at row 10 and ending at 20. Thus pulling rows 10 - 20.

This is almost a duplicate of a question I asked in October:
Emulate MySQL LIMIT clause in Microsoft SQL Server 2000
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2000, there is no good solution. Most people have to resort to capturing the result of the query in a temporary table with a IDENTITY primary key. Then query against the primary key column using a BETWEEN condition.
If you're using Microsoft SQL Server 2005 or later, you have a ROW_NUMBER() function, so you can get the same result but avoid the temporary table.
SELECT t1.*
FROM (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER OVER(ORDER BY id) AS row, t1.*
FROM ( ...original SQL query... ) t1
) t2
WHERE t2.row BETWEEN #offset+1 AND #offset+#count;
You can also write this as a common table expression as shown in #Leon Tayson's answer.
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT TOP 20
t.*, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY field1) AS rn
FROM table1 t
ORDER BY
field1
) t
WHERE rn > 10
Syntactically MySQL LIMIT query is something like this:
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT OFFSET, ROW_COUNT
This can be translated into Microsoft SQL Server like
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP #{OFFSET+ROW_COUNT} *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS rnum
FROM table
) a
WHERE rnum > OFFSET
Now your query select * from table1 LIMIT 10,20 will be like this:
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT TOP 30 *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 1)) AS rnum
FROM table1
) a
WHERE rnum > 10
SELECT TOP 10 * FROM table;
Is the same as
SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 0,10;
Here's an article about implementing Limit in MsSQL Its a nice read, specially the comments.
This is one of the reasons I try to avoid using MS Server... but anyway. Sometimes you just don't have an option (yei! and I have to use an outdated version!!).
My suggestion is to create a virtual table:
From:
SELECT * FROM table
To:
CREATE VIEW v_table AS
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY table_key) AS row,* FROM table
Then just query:
SELECT * FROM v_table WHERE row BETWEEN 10 AND 20
If fields are added, or removed, "row" is updated automatically.
The main problem with this option is that ORDER BY is fixed. So if you want a different order, you would have to create another view.
UPDATE
There is another problem with this approach: if you try to filter your data, it won't work as expected. For example, if you do:
SELECT * FROM v_table WHERE field = 'test' AND row BETWEEN 10 AND 20
WHERE becomes limited to those data which are in the rows between 10 and 20 (instead of searching the whole dataset and limiting the output).
In SQL there's no LIMIT keyword exists. If you only need a limited number of rows you should use a TOP keyword which is similar to a LIMIT.
Must try. In below query, you can see group by, order by, Skip rows, and limit rows.
select emp_no , sum(salary_amount) from emp_salary
Group by emp_no
ORDER BY emp_no
OFFSET 5 ROWS -- Skip first 5
FETCH NEXT 10 ROWS ONLY; -- limit to retrieve next 10 row after skiping rows
Easy way
MYSQL:
SELECT 'filds' FROM 'table' WHERE 'where' LIMIT 'offset','per_page'
MSSQL:
SELECT 'filds' FROM 'table' WHERE 'where' ORDER BY 'any' OFFSET 'offset'
ROWS FETCH NEXT 'per_page' ROWS ONLY
ORDER BY is mandatory
This is a multi step approach that will work in SQL2000.
-- Create a temp table to hold the data
CREATE TABLE #foo(rowID int identity(1, 1), myOtherColumns)
INSERT INTO #foo (myColumns) SELECT myData order By MyCriteria
Select * FROM #foo where rowID > 10
SELECT
*
FROM
(
SELECT
top 20 -- ($a) number of records to show
*
FROM
(
SELECT
top 29 -- ($b) last record position
*
FROM
table -- replace this for table name (i.e. "Customer")
ORDER BY
2 ASC
) AS tbl1
ORDER BY
2 DESC
) AS tbl2
ORDER BY
2 ASC;
-- Examples:
-- Show 5 records from position 5:
-- $a = 5;
-- $b = (5 + 5) - 1
-- $b = 9;
-- Show 10 records from position 4:
-- $a = 10;
-- $b = (10 + 4) - 1
-- $b = 13;
-- To calculate $b:
-- $b = ($a + position) - 1
-- For the present exercise we need to:
-- Show 20 records from position 10:
-- $a = 20;
-- $b = (20 + 10) - 1
-- $b = 29;
If your ID is unique identifier type or your id in table is not sorted you must do like this below.
select * from
(select ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (select 0)) AS RowNumber,* from table1) a
where a.RowNumber between 2 and 5
The code will be
select * from limit 2,5
better use this in MSSQLExpress 2017.
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT 0)) as [Count], * FROM table1
) as a
WHERE [Count] BETWEEN 10 and 20;
--Giving a Column [Count] and assigning every row a unique counting without ordering something then re select again where you can provide your limits.. :)
One of the possible way to get result as below , hope this will help.
declare #start int
declare #end int
SET #start = '5000'; -- 0 , 5000 ,
SET #end = '10000'; -- 5001, 10001
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT TABLE_NAME,TABLE_TYPE, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY TABLE_NAME) as row FROM information_schema.tables
) a WHERE a.row > #start and a.row <= #end
If i remember correctly (it's been a while since i dabbed with SQL Server) you may be able to use something like this: (2005 and up)
SELECT
*
,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY SomeFields) AS [RowNum]
FROM SomeTable
WHERE RowNum BETWEEN 10 AND 20
I found the following mysqli query on the internet. It displays top 3 sold cars
//create conection with mysql database.
$conn = mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","cars");
//query
$select = "SELECT ord.*, sum(amount) as amt from orders as ord GROUP BY id_car order by amt desc limit 0,3";
$data = mysqli_query($conn,$select);
This query works fine but I would like if anyone can explain me this first section of the query: SELECT ord.*,
It seems like "ord" refers to orders but is it the same as saying: SELECT * FROM orders??
See table in the screenshot image
orders table
In the query there is orders as ord this gives the orders table an 'alias' of the orders table, so ord.* means orders.*
It is a bit redundant in this query to be honest, mainly used if there are multiople tables in a query :)
For this query you can simply do:
$select = "SELECT *, sum(amount) as amt from orders GROUP BY id_car order by amt desc limit 0,3";
Let's break it down:
a) Select all fields from table named ord which will be defined in c)
SELECT ord.*,
b) Select sum of column amount and name it amt
sum(amount) as amt
c) Use table orders for the query and define an alias name ord for that table, see a)
from orders as ord
It is same as select * from tableName,it will fetch all columns from table.But alias Name is given for the table. Using alias Name is best practices for joining the multiple tables.
since you are using single table you can do this also.
SELECT *, sum(amount) as amt from orders as ord GROUP BY id_car order by amt desc limit 0,3
How can I find the most frequent value in a given column in an SQL table?
For example, for this table it should return two since it is the most frequent value:
one
two
two
three
SELECT
<column_name>,
COUNT(<column_name>) AS `value_occurrence`
FROM
<my_table>
GROUP BY
<column_name>
ORDER BY
`value_occurrence` DESC
LIMIT 1;
Replace <column_name> and <my_table>. Increase 1 if you want to see the N most common values of the column.
Try something like:
SELECT `column`
FROM `your_table`
GROUP BY `column`
ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC
LIMIT 1;
Let us consider table name as tblperson and column name as city. I want to retrieve the most repeated city from the city column:
select city,count(*) as nor from tblperson
group by city
having count(*) =(select max(nor) from
(select city,count(*) as nor from tblperson group by city) tblperson)
Here nor is an alias name.
Below query seems to work good for me in SQL Server database:
select column, COUNT(column) AS MOST_FREQUENT
from TABLE_NAME
GROUP BY column
ORDER BY COUNT(column) DESC
Result:
column MOST_FREQUENT
item1 highest count
item2 second highest
item3 third higest
..
..
For use with SQL Server.
As there is no limit command support in that.
Yo can use the top 1 command to find the maximum occurring value in the particular column in this case (value)
SELECT top1
`value`,
COUNT(`value`) AS `value_occurrence`
FROM
`my_table`
GROUP BY
`value`
ORDER BY
`value_occurrence` DESC;
Assuming Table is 'SalesLT.Customer' and the Column you are trying to figure out is 'CompanyName' and AggCompanyName is an Alias.
Select CompanyName, Count(CompanyName) as AggCompanyName from SalesLT.Customer
group by CompanyName
Order By Count(CompanyName) Desc;
If you can't use LIMIT or LIMIT is not an option for your query tool. You can use "ROWNUM" instead, but you will need a sub query:
SELECT FIELD_1, ALIAS1
FROM(SELECT FIELD_1, COUNT(FIELD_1) ALIAS1
FROM TABLENAME
GROUP BY FIELD_1
ORDER BY COUNT(FIELD_1) DESC)
WHERE ROWNUM = 1
If you have an ID column and you want to find most repetitive category from another column for each ID then you can use below query,
Table:
Query:
SELECT ID, CATEGORY, COUNT(*) AS FREQ
FROM TABLE
GROUP BY 1,2
QUALIFY ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID ORDER BY FREQ DESC) = 1;
Result:
Return all most frequent rows in case of tie
Find the most frequent value in mysql,display all in case of a tie gives two possible approaches:
Scalar subquery:
SELECT
"country",
COUNT(country) AS "cnt"
FROM "Sales"
GROUP BY "country"
HAVING
COUNT("country") = (
SELECT COUNT("country") AS "cnt"
FROM "Sales"
GROUP BY "country"
ORDER BY "cnt" DESC,
LIMIT 1
)
ORDER BY "country" ASC
With the RANK window function, available since MySQL 8+:
SELECT "country", "cnt"
FROM (
SELECT
"country",
COUNT("country") AS "cnt",
RANK() OVER (ORDER BY COUNT(*) DESC) "rnk"
FROM "Sales"
GROUP BY "country"
) AS "sub"
WHERE "rnk" = 1
ORDER BY "country" ASC
This method might save a second recount compared to the first one.
RANK works by ranking all rows, such that if two rows are at the top, both get rank 1. So it basically directly solves this type of use case.
RANK is also available on SQLite and PostgreSQL, I think it might be SQL standard, not sure.
In the above queries I also sorted by country to have more deterministic results.
Tested on SQLite 3.34.0, PostgreSQL 14.3, GitHub upstream.

SQLite: SQL query for finding the most frequent value of a grouped by value
SELECT TOP 20 WITH TIES COUNT(Counted_Column) AS Count, OtherColumn1,
OtherColumn2, OtherColumn3, OtherColumn4
FROM Table_or_View_Name
WHERE
(Date_Column >= '01/01/2023') AND
(Date_Column <= '03/01/2023') AND
(Counted_Column = 'Desired_Text')
GROUP BY OtherColumn1, OtherColumn2, OtherColumn3, OtherColumn4
ORDER BY COUNT(Counted_Column) DESC
20 can be changed to any desired number
WITH TIES allows all ties in the count to be displayed
Date range used if date/time column exists and can be modified to search a date range as desired
Counted_Column 'Desired_Text' can be modified to only count certain entries in that column
Works in INSQL for my instance
One way I like to use is:
select *<given_column>*,COUNT(*<given_column>*)as VAR1 from Table_Name
group by *<given_column>*
order by VAR1 desc
limit 1
I have a question about how to select the second, third, fourth, and fifth largest number in a table. To select the biggest row I use:
$max = SELECT max(money) FROM table
Right now I want to specify $second_max, $third_max, $fourth_max and $fifth_max.
Does someone know how to change my previous SQL select max() easy to specify second max, third max etc...?
I do not want to use:
select money from table order by money desc limit 5;
Because I want them all in different variables.
select money from table order by money desc LIMIT 5
Probably the easiest way is to get them on separate rows:
select t.money
from table t
group by t.money
order by money desc
limit 5;
The next easiest thing is to put them in a comma-separated list:
select group_concat(money order by money desc) as monies
from (select t.money
from table t
group by t.money
order by money desc
limit 5
) T
Just this:
SELECT money
FROM yourtable
ORDER BY money DESC
LIMIT 5
You'll get a 5-record result set, ordered by the top money values - assuming you actually have 5+ records in the table.
USE SQL
select money from table order by money desc limit 5;
The five rows are there as max, secondary,... value of money.
In ORACLE you could do the following :
SELECT *
FROM (
SELECT ADRESSID,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ADRESSID DESC) AS ROW_NUM
FROM ADRESSTABLE
) t
WHERE ROW_NUM = 1
OR ROW_NUM = 3
OR ROW_NUM = 5;
i have a MySql table that consists of 2 basic things:
The id and a value.
To show that on my page, i need to select, for example, the last 100 rows on reversed order.
So imagine that someone is putting data on it:
Id, value
1, 10
2, 9
3, 21
4, 15
i need, to select the last "3" rows (LIMIT + ORDER Clause), but not like this: 4,3,2 but like this: 2,3,4.
I know how to do that on code, but maybe there is a simple solution for that on Mysql and i don`t know.
Thanks
My SQL Query is like this right now:
SELECT `Data`.`id`, `Data`.`log_id`, `Data`.`value`, `Data`.`created` FROM `control_panel`.`datas` AS `Data` WHERE `Data`.`id` > 1000 AND `Data`.`log_id` = (2) ORDER BY `Data`.`id` DESC LIMIT 100
You need to wrap the first ORDER BY in a subselect which will return a limited selection ordered in descending order, then you can order that result in the outer query in ascending order:
SELECT
a.*
FROM
(
SELECT id, value
FROM tbl
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 3
) a
ORDER BY
a.id
One way to do this would be with a sub-select.
SELECT *
FROM (SELECT * FROM table_name ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 3) tmp
ORDER BY id ASC
simply
SELECT t.*
(SELECT * FROM table_name
ORDER BY column_name DESC
LIMIT 0,3) t
ORDER BY t.column_name ASC
use DESC to descending order, ASC to increasing order
