Question

Select id, name, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id asc) as 'RowNo'
from customers
where RowNo between 50 AND 60

I am trying to select a subset of rows between 50 and 60 . The problem is ‘RowNo’ is an invalid column name.

Thank you

Using SQL SERVER 2008 R2

Use your query as subquery like bellow:

select * from (
    Select id, name, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY id asc) as [RowNo]
    from customers
) t
where RowNo between 50 AND 60

You can use CTE as well but whether to choose one over another read Difference between CTE and SubQuery? and check execution plan.
