CTE Data Paging in a Procedure
Day 15 of Common Table Expression Month (June) at SteveStedman.com, today we will be taking a look at data paging with CTE’s in a function. Yesterday we took a look at CTEs for Data Paging, today we will build on what we used yesterday.
These queries will be using that database that was set up in a previous posting on the CTE_DEMO Sample Database, if you haven’t set up the sample database, download it and set it up now.
The concept of data paging is taking a large set of results and breaking it up into smaller pages of result sets. For instance if you search your favorite internet search engine for a term, you are usually shown results 1 to 20 of X where X is a very large number. For instance page 1 is results 1 to 20 of 652,443 results.
CTE Data Paging
declare @pageNum as int; declare @pageSize as int; set @pageNum = 2; set @pageSize = 10; ;WITH TablesAndColumns AS ( SELECT OBJECT_NAME(sc.object_id) AS TableName, name AS ColumnName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(sc.object_id)) AS RowNum FROM sys.columns sc ) SELECT * FROM TablesAndColumns WHERE RowNum BETWEEN (@pageNum - 1) * @pageSize + 1 AND @pageNum * @pageSize ;
Now lets wrap it in a procedure to simplify things.
CREATE PROCEDURE TablesAndColumnsPager @pageNum int, @pageSize int AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; ;WITH TablesAndColumns AS ( SELECT OBJECT_NAME(sc.object_id) AS TableName, name AS ColumnName, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OBJECT_NAME(sc.object_id)) AS RowNum FROM sys.columns sc ) SELECT * FROM TablesAndColumns WHERE RowNum BETWEEN (@pageNum - 1) * @pageSize + 1 AND @pageNum * @pageSize ; END
Then to call the paging function it is a bit cleaner.
exec TablesAndColumnsPager 1, 10; exec TablesAndColumnsPager 2, 10; exec TablesAndColumnsPager 3, 10;
Which produces the following output.
