Question

I know several ways of writing paged query in SQL Server 2005. But I have no idea about their performance. Which one is the best and most optimized way for writing paging SQL queries?

1. Using Row_Number()
2. Using Partition by
3. Using Temporary tables
4. Using Nest Top N with Order by
5. Some other way?

Answer 1

以我的经验，它使用的是ROW_NUMBER（），只需确保orderby字段是聚簇索引，这样您就不必为对每个查询的数据集进行排序而付出代价。
