Question

Is there some lib or function i can use to take my basic sql statement and transform the limit statement to a sql server compatible statement?

Answer 1

The closest equivalent of MySQL’s LIMIT function is the TOP function. So

Select..
From Table
LIMIT 10

In SQL Server this would be:

Select TOP 10 ...
From Table
Order By ...

ADDITION

Per your comments, you are asking about mimicking the offset parameter on LIMIT. You can do that with a CTE in SQL Server 2005+:

With NumberedItems As
    (
    Select ...
        , ROW_NUMBER() OVER ( Order By ... ) As Num
    From Table
    )
Select ...
From NumberedItems
Where Num Between 5 And 20
