Question

Would someone please help me.

I have a stored procedure (see below) for data paging in SQL Server 2005. The purpose of the stored procedure is to return a page of Products (prodid, description) for a particular Category (CatID).

When I execute the stored procedure:

EXEC @return_value = [dbo].[ecosys_CNET_GetCategoryProducts]   @CatID = N'AA',   @PageNumber = 1,   @ProductsPerPage = 10,   @HowManyProducts = @HowManyProducts OUTPUT  

it only returns one (1) row even though there are many Products:

@HowManyProducts: 10034 

I have a similar stored procedure which works just fine for smaller datasets. Am I hitting some sort of limit?

set ANSI_NULLS ON   set QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON   go    CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[ecosys_CNET_GetCategoryProducts]    (   @CatID char(2),   @PageNumber INT,   @ProductsPerPage INT,   @HowManyProducts INT OUTPUT   )    AS    -- Declare a new @Products TABLE variable.   DECLARE @Products TABLE   (   RowNumber INT,   prodid VARCHAR(40),   description VARCHAR(2000)   )    -- Populate the @Product TABLE variable with the selected Products.   INSERT INTO @Products    SELECT    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY cds_atr.prodid),   cds_atr.prodid,   cds_stdnee.description    FROM cds_stdnee    JOIN cds_atr   ON (cds_stdnee.prodid = cds_atr.prodid)    WHERE cds_atr.catid = @CatID    -- Return the Total Number of Products using an OUTPUT variable.   SELECT @HowManyProducts = COUNT(prodid) FROM @Products    -- Extract the Requested Page of Products.   SELECT DISTINCT prodid, description    FROM @Products    WHERE RowNumber > (@PageNumber - 1) * @ProductsPerPage     AND RowNumber <= @PageNumber * @ProductsPerPage

If it’s only returning one row, chances are there is only one row to return. Add a SELECT * FROM @Products and look to see what rows were there. In particular, look at the row numbers.
