How to get Even or Odd or last 'N' Number of records in SQL Server.

/* Get Even or Odd rows number */

In my previous article I discussed about  SQL Server database showing "Recovery In" mode.

EVEN :

select * from(
select PatientId,Row_Number() OVER(ORDER BY PatientID) AS RowNumber  from tblpatient)aa where aa.RowNumber%2=0

ODD :

select * from(
select PatientId,Row_Number() OVER(ORDER BY PatientID) AS RowNumber  from tblpatient)aa where aa.RowNumber%2=1


/* Get last N number of records */
