I have been trying to understand a little bit about how to implement custom paging in SQL, for instance reading articles like this one.
I have the following query, which works perfectly. But I would like to implement paging with this one.
SELECT TOP x PostId FROM ( SELECT PostId, MAX (Datemade) as LastDate
from dbForumEntry
group by PostId ) SubQueryAlias
order by LastDate desc
What is it I want
I have forum posts, with related entries. I want to get the posts with the latest added entries, so I can select the recently debated posts.
Now, I want to be able to get the "top 10 to 20 recently active posts", instead of "top 10".
What have I tried
I have tried to implement the ROW functions as the one in the article, but really with no luck.
Any ideas how to implement it?
