MSSQL ликбез

Минимум о MSSQL, если знаешь MySQL.

For SQL Server 2012 +

SELECT  *
FROM TABLE
ORDER BY name 
OFFSET 5 ROWS 
FETCH NEXT 5 ROWS ONLY

или

WITH Documents AS
(
  SELECT ID, DATA,
  ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) AS 'RowNumber'
  FROM Document
) 
SELECT * 
FROM Documents 
WHERE RowNumber BETWEEN 10 AND 20;

или для версии 2000 и ниже:

SELECT TOP 10 * FROM (SELECT TOP 20 FROM Table ORDER BY Id) ORDER BY Id DESC
