Question

in MySQL we use LIMIT and in sql server we must use TOP instead of LIMIT,but we can use LIMIT in the this way:

Limit X, Y which X is the starting point and Y is duration.

now how can i use TOP like that example?

you can use ROW_NUMBER() function , with CTE (Common table Expression)

with cte as(
select *,ROW_NUMBER() over (order by col1) as rownumber from <table>)
select * from cte where rownumber between x and y
