SQL Async Multiple Queries Combine Results — Maximum Results (Top XYZ)

Question

I have a search function set up, where I run multiple queries simultaneously. The top 1000 results of each query are written to a table. (These run async--I am just leaving out

Answer 1

The following SQL limits the number of rows to 4 from any subsequent query

SET ROWCOUNT 4

SET @Rows = @@ROWCOUNT

Get the number of rows form the preceeding select

so something like

SELECT TOP etc...

SET @Rows = @@ROWCOUNT

SET ROWCOUNT 1000 - @Rows

Will probably error if @row goes below zero

but you an trap this with IF and goto PROC_LABLE
