SET ROWCOUNT

Stop the processing after the number of rows has been affected.

Example:

Step-1: Create the Table and insert some sample data.

CREATE TABLE STUDENT
(
ID INT IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY,
STUDENTNAME VARCHAR(100) NOT NULL ,
LIVINGLOCATION VARCHAR(100) NULL
)

INSERT INTO STUDENT(STUDENTNAME,LIVINGLOCATION)
SELECT 'Rakesh','Hyderabad'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Raju','Delhi'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Madhu','Hyderabad'
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Naresh',NULL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'Venaktesh','Chennai'

In above Insert Statement we inserted 5 sample records.

Step-2: Using SET ROWCOUT

SET ROWCOUNT 3;
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
ORDER BY ID DESC







It will affected 3 rows after that processing has been stopped.

Step-2: Using SET ROWCOUT 0

SET ROWCOUNT 0;
SELECT * FROM STUDENT
ORDER BY ID DESC









It will return all rows if ROWCOUNT IS 0.
