For example:
I have a table with 3 columns including a primary key column.

Suppose this table has 1000 rows, the query should be placed in such a way that the searching should start from the 900th row.

[Lets say by some way i get the rownumber--which i dont know how???]

select * from tablename where (rownumber > 900)

The implicit question is how do i retrieve the internal rownumber that SQL server maintains. I cannot use Identity property also, since the primary key is not necassrily an integer."
