The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

mysql

I have some experience with MySQL and the syntax that goes with it.  I am currently writing an application that must use Microsoft SQL Server as it's backend database, and I am finding quite a few differences in syntax.
One question I would really like to know the answer to:  Is there an equivalent to "LIMIT" from MySQL in MSSQL?  If so, what is it?  I already found "TOP", but there doesn't seem to be a way to set the row that the query should START at.  What I would really like to do is tell the SQL Server what record to start at an how many records to return.
