I am curious if you (the readers) know anything about connecting to SQL Denali from…
The new SQL server version codename Denali features better paging support. You can now write code like this: SELECT Field1, Field2 FROM TableX ORDER BY Field1 OFFSET 100 ROWS FETCH NEXT 50 ROWS ONLY This code will give you the 50 records with starting position 100. Yes, the query has to be executed one time for each page you are pulling from your code and that can be unefficient.
