T-SQL Paging Sorting & Filtering
I have been working on a T-SQL stored procedure for a number of hours now that will enable me to retrieve a paged set of articles that are sorted in ASC or DESC order based on a specified column.
I am now working on getting the stored procedure to filter based on the first character of the ‘Title’ field and have added the lines:
@StartAlpha nvarchar(1) = null
and
WHERE ((@StartAlpha IS NULL) OR (Title Like @StartAlpha + '%'))
see below.
The stored procedure no longer returns any results. And I don’t really know why.
Can anyone please help?
Regards
Walter

Thanks to everyone that made helpful suggestions.
I completely refactored the stored procedure and it now works. See below.
I’m not entirely sure why the original Stored Procedure didn’t work and why this version does, but I thought I would share with the forum.
Thanks again.
Walter.
