You can use this code, define @start as limit value From and @rowsperpage as number of records you need.

DECLARE @rowsperpage INT
DECLARE @start INT
SET @start = 120000 SET @rowsperpage = 10
SELECT * FROM ( SELECT row_number() OVER (ORDER BY column) AS rownum, column2, column3, .... columnX FROM table) AS A WHERE A.rownum BETWEEN (@start) AND (@start + @rowsperpage)
