Skip first row in SQL Server 2005?

You can use OVER clause and a ranking function. You can't filter on this directly so you need to us a sub query or a common table expression, the example below uses the latter.

DECLARE @MyTable TABLE 
(
    ID INT,
    Name VARCHAR(15)
);
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (1, 'Alice');
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (2, 'Bob');
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (3, 'Chris');
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (4, 'David');
INSERT INTO @MyTable VALUES (5, 'Edgar');

WITH people AS 
(
    SELECT ID, Name, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ID) RN
    FROM @MyTable
)
SELECT ID, Name
FROM people
WHERE RN > 1;

There will be better support for pagination in the next version of SQL Server (codename Denali) with the OFFSET and FETCH keywords.

You could do something like this:

SELECT
    *
FROM (
        SELECT      
            row_number() OVER (ORDER BY ID DESC) AS [rownum],
            *
        FROM
            tbl
) T
WHERE 
    rownum BETWEEN (2) AND (5)

Update:

Updated to have your values.

Update 2:

Corrected error with missing sub query. Thanks to Chris Diver pointing this out.

What you are looking for is the term paging. Like this: http://www.15seconds.com/issue/070628.htm
