Paging re-imagined in SQL Server

When we have huge records in database, it is always wise to implement paging instead of querying all the data at once. Gone are the days were we wrote long line of code to implement paging. With SQL Server 2012, we can do that in just few lines. Here is a quick sample script to query 10 records after 50^th record.

Declare @PageIndex Int-- current page index

Declare @PageSize Int-- fetch this much record

Declare @Offset Int-- number of rows to skip

Set @PageIndex=5

Set @PageSize=10

Set @Offset = @PageIndex * @PageSize

Select * From DemoUser

OrderBy Id Offset @Offset Rows

FetchNext @PageSize RowsOnly

Reference: OFFSET FETCH Clause

Hope this helps.
