我感兴趣的是从数据库表中选择第n行的一些(理想的)数据库不可知的方法。看看如何使用以下数据库的本机功能来实现这一点也很有趣:
SQL Server MySQL PostgreSQL SQLite 甲骨文
我目前正在SQL Server 2005中做以下事情，但我有兴趣看到其他更不可知论的方法:
WITH Ordered AS (
SELECT ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderID) AS RowNumber, OrderID, OrderDate
FROM Orders)
SELECT *
FROM Ordered
WHERE RowNumber = 1000000

下面是我最近为Oracle编写的一个sproc的通用版本，它允许动态分页/排序——HTH
-- p_LowerBound = first row # in the returned set; if second page of 10 rows,
-- this would be 11 (-1 for unbounded/not set)
-- p_UpperBound = last row # in the returned set; if second page of 10 rows,
-- this would be 20 (-1 for unbounded/not set)
OPEN o_Cursor FOR
SELECT * FROM (
SELECT
Column1,
Column2
rownum AS rn
FROM
(
SELECT
tbl.Column1,
tbl.column2
FROM MyTable tbl
WHERE
tbl.Column1 = p_PKParam OR
tbl.Column1 = -1
ORDER BY
DECODE(p_sortOrder, 'A', DECODE(p_sortColumn, 1, Column1, 'X'),'X'),
DECODE(p_sortOrder, 'D', DECODE(p_sortColumn, 1, Column1, 'X'),'X') DESC,
DECODE(p_sortOrder, 'A', DECODE(p_sortColumn, 2, Column2, sysdate),sysdate),
DECODE(p_sortOrder, 'D', DECODE(p_sortColumn, 2, Column2, sysdate),sysdate) DESC
))
WHERE
(rn >= p_lowerBound OR p_lowerBound = -1) AND
(rn <= p_upperBound OR p_upperBound = -1);

我在这里有点晚了，但我已经在不需要窗口或使用的情况下做到了这一点
WHERE x IN (...)
SELECT TOP 1
--select the value needed from t1
[col2]
FROM
(
SELECT TOP 2 --the Nth row, alter this to taste
UE2.[col1],
UE2.[col2],
UE2.[date],
UE2.[time],
UE2.[UID]
FROM
[table1] AS UE2
WHERE
UE2.[col1] = ID --this is a subquery
AND
UE2.[col2] IS NOT NULL
ORDER BY
UE2.[date] DESC, UE2.[time] DESC --sorting by date and time newest first
) AS t1
ORDER BY t1.[date] ASC, t1.[time] ASC --this reverses the order of the sort in t1
它似乎工作得相当快，尽管公平地说，我只有大约500行数据
这在MSSQL中有效
对于SQL server，下面的语句将返回给定表的第一行。
declare @rowNumber int = 1;
select TOP(@rowNumber) * from [dbo].[someTable];
EXCEPT
select TOP(@rowNumber - 1) * from [dbo].[someTable];
你可以这样循环遍历这些值:
WHILE @constVar > 0
BEGIN
declare @rowNumber int = @consVar;
select TOP(@rowNumber) * from [dbo].[someTable];
EXCEPT
select TOP(@rowNumber - 1) * from [dbo].[someTable];
SET @constVar = @constVar - 1;
END;
从表中选择N个记录号
select * from
(select row_number() over (order by Rand() desc) as Rno,* from TableName) T where T.Rno = RecordNumber
Where RecordNumber --> Record Number to Select
TableName --> To be Replaced with your Table Name
例如，要从表Employee中选择第5条记录，您的查询应该是
select * from
(select row_number() over (order by Rand() desc) as Rno,* from Employee) T where T.Rno = 5
ADD:
LIMIT n,1
这将把结果限制为从结果n开始的一个结果。
LIMIT n,1不能在MS SQL Server中工作。我认为它是唯一一个不支持这种语法的主流数据库。公平地说，它不是SQL标准的一部分，尽管它得到了如此广泛的支持，它应该是SQL标准的一部分。在一切除了SQL服务器限制工作得很好。对于SQL server，我还没有找到一个优雅的解决方案。
