Hi all,
In my application I use SELECT TOP 12 * clause to select top 12 records from database and show it to user. In another case I have to show the same result one by one. So I use SELECT TOP 1 * clause,rest of the query is same. I used Sql row_number() function to select items one by on serially.
The problem is SELECT TOP 1 * doesn't return me same row as I get in SELECT TOP 12 *. Also the result set of SELECT TOP 12 * get changed each time I execute the query.
Can anybody explain me why the result is not get same in SELECT TOP 12 * and SELECT TOP 1 *.
FYI: here is my sql
select distinct top 1 * from(
select row_number() over ( ORDER BY Ratings desc ) as Row, * from(
SELECT vw.IsHide, vw.UpdateDate, vw.UserID, vw.UploadPath, vw.MediaUploadID, vw.Ratings, vw.Caption, vw.UserName, vw.BirthYear, vw.BirthDay, vw.BirthMonth, vw.Gender, vw.CityProvince, vw.Approved
FROM VW_Media as vw ,Users as u WITH(NOLOCk)
WHERE vw.IsHide='false' and
GenderNVID=5 and
vw.UserID=u.UserID and
vw.UserID not in(205092) and
vw.UploadTypeNVID=1106 and
vw.IsDeleted='false' and
vw.Approved = 1 and
u.HideProfile=0 and
u.StatusNVID=126 and
vw.UserID not in(Select BlockedToUserID from BlockList WITH(NOLOCk) where UserID=205092) a) totalres where row >0
Thanks in Advance
