Getting total row count from OFFSET / FETCH NEXT
You can use COUNT(*) OVER()
... here is a quick example using sys.all_objects
:
DECLARE
@PageSize INT = 10,
@PageNum INT = 1;
SELECT
name, object_id,
overall_count = COUNT(*) OVER()
FROM sys.all_objects
ORDER BY name
OFFSET (@PageNum-1)*@PageSize ROWS
FETCH NEXT @PageSize ROWS ONLY;
However, this should be reserved for small data sets; on larger sets, the performance can be abysmal. See this Paul White article for better alternatives, including maintaining indexed views (which only works if the result is unfiltered or you know WHERE
clauses in advance) and using ROW_NUMBER()
tricks.
I encountered some performance issues using the COUNT() OVER() method. (I'm not sure if it was the server as it took 40 seconds to return 10 records and then later didn't have any issues.) This technique worked under all conditions without having to use COUNT() OVER() and accomplishes the same thing:
DECLARE
@PageSize INT = 10,
@PageNum INT = 1;
WITH TempResult AS(
SELECT ID, Name
FROM Table
), TempCount AS (
SELECT COUNT(*) AS MaxRows FROM TempResult
)
SELECT *
FROM TempResult, TempCount
ORDER BY TempResult.Name
OFFSET (@PageNum-1)*@PageSize ROWS
FETCH NEXT @PageSize ROWS ONLY
