Answer 1

Adding a slight variation on Aaronaught's solution, I typically parametrize page number (@PageNum) and page size (@PageSize). This way each page click event just sends in the requested page number along with a configurable page size:

begin
    with My_CTE  as
    (
         SELECT col1,
              ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY col1) AS row_number
     FROM
          My_Table
     WHERE
          <<>>
    )
    select * from My_CTE
            WHERE RowNum BETWEEN (@PageNum - 1) * (@PageSize + 1) 
                              AND @PageNum * @PageSize

end
