The following MS-SQL query returns over 5,000 records. I would like for it to only return 500 rows at one time.

There is a column named employee_id and the numbers range from 000000059 to 001592258.

select * from stage_person_import_temp a
where a.status_dt = (select max(b.status_dt)
from stage_person_import_temp b
where b.employee_id = a.employee_id
)
and a.record_count =(select min(c.record_count)
from stage_person_import_temp c
where a.employee_id = c.employee_id
and a.status_dt = c.status_dt
)
order by a.employee_id

Thanks so much and I hope to learn some things on this forum

You can use TOP 500 to get 500 rows back.

If you are instead asking about paging at 500 rows at a time, then make sure you check out ROW_NUMBER() function in BOL.

I just to see 500 employees at a time, kind like a range or count based on the current SQL returning 4488 rows. The import can't handle that many at one time.
