Select top 50 * from table
Where id not in

(       select top 199 id from table
       order by date, alpha)

order by date, alpha

that works but what if you are paging through a million records as
suggested before?
wouldnt the inner query select the top 999,999 rows?
IE

Select top 50 * from table
Where id not in
(
       select top 999999 id from table
       order by date, alpha
)
order by date, alpha


I think thats what Mike K was talking about.
