I am not sure if I can create something SQL or I have to do this in Visual Studios developer.

I have a phone directory that contains name and ext and I would like to the list to continue accross the page.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

then you can do paging in code behind (query or procedure)

thanks for the hint

Well, I created this, but it is not working correctly for me.....

create table #temp
(Name varchar(100),
Ext varchar(4),
Name1 varchar(100),
Ext1 varchar(4),
Name2 varchar(100),
Ext2 varchar(4)
)

SELECT
ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY FullName) AS RowNumber,
FullName as Name , Ext into #temp1
FROM dbo.PhoneDirectory

Select * from #temp1

insert into #temp (Name,Ext)
SELECT Name,Ext from #temp1
WHERE RowNumber < = 33

update #temp set Name1 = t1.Name,Ext1 = t1.Ext
from #temp1 t1 where t1.rownumber between 34 and 66

update #temp set Name2 = t1.Name,Ext2 = t1.Ext
from #temp1 t1 where t1.rownumber > 66

select * from #temp
