I have a huge table in my database and a stored procedure accessing it, which needs pagination.
To achieve this I want total records of the table, and for that, I am facing performance issue because for doing that I need to run this query twice:
Is there any way I can avoid the first query for getting the total count instead of I can use row count or something else?
One way to do it would be something like this:
SELECT
(your list of columns),
COUNT(*) OVER ()
FROM
dbo.YourTable
ORDER BY
(whatever column you want to order by)
OFFSET x ROWS FETCH NEXT y ROWS ONLY;
With the OFFSET / FETCH
, you retrieve only a page of data - and the COUNT(*) OVER()
will give you the total count of the rows in the table - all in a single query
