Data Paging in SQL Server 2005 Only Returns 1 (One) Row

Question

Hi,

Would someone please help me.

I have a stored procedure (see below) for data paging in SQL Server 2005. The purpose of the stored procedure is to return a page of Products (prodid, description) for a particular Category (CatID).

When I execute the stored procedure:

EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[ecosys_CNET_GetCategoryProducts]
@CatID = N'AA',
@PageNumber = 1,
@ProductsPerPage = 10,
@HowManyProducts = @HowManyProducts OUTPUT

it only returns one (1) row even though there are many Products:

@HowManyProducts: 10034

I have a similar stored procedure which works just fine for smaller datasets. Am I hitting some sort of limit?

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Walter

JOIN cds_atr
ON (cds_stdnee.prodid = cds_atr.prodid)

WHERE cds_atr.catid = @CatID

-- Return the Total Number of Products using an OUTPUT variable.
SELECT @HowManyProducts = COUNT(prodid) FROM @Products

-- Extract the Requested Page of Products.
SELECT DISTINCT prodid, description

FROM @Products

WHERE RowNumber > (@PageNumber - 1) * @ProductsPerPage
AND RowNumber <= @PageNumber * @ProductsPerPage

If it's only returning one row, chances are there is only one row to return. Add a SELECT * FROM @Products and look to see what rows were there. In particular, look at the row numbers.
