Hi, so the code that works is :

WITH ORDERED AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY category_id) AS RowNumber, category_id, NAME FROM [categories]
)
SELECT category_id,name FROM ORDERED WHERE RowNumber >= 3 AND RowNumber

i think it is enough with between, and without the temp. U cand scroll with the Between clause through an ID column.

Sure looks more like MySQL’s limit, but when you have a huge table with millions of records, it takes ages to return the desired rows.

WITH temp AS
(SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderColumn) AS rownum
from MyTable)
SELECT * FROM temp WHERE rownum BETWEEN 0 AND 10

Is better.

Doesn’t work for some reason… Logic is there, but pulls out always the first 10, even if you say you want between 20-30. Any ideas, why this concept isn’t working?
