Solution 1

WITH myTableWithRows AS (SELECT (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY myTable.SomeField)) as row,* FROM myTable)
   SELECT * FROM myTableWithRows WHERE row = 5

Or:

SELECT * 
FROM (
    SELECT *, ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY OrderID) AS RowNum
    FROM [Order Details]   
) AS MyDerivedTable
WHERE MyDerivedTable.RowNum = 5

sory i am asking with out enter row =5 is there any possibility

If you want to return a single row from a table, then you have to identify it somehow, yes? If you want the fifth row and that is the only way you can identify it, then the number five is going to be involved at some point... :laugh:

Or is this a language problem, and you are not asking the question you think you are?

Here is one way to do it

SQL

CREATE TABLE #SampleTable
(
    ID INT,
    [Name] VARCHAR(50)
)


INSERT INTO #SampleTable
SELECT 1, 'XYZ 1'UNION ALL
SELECT 2, 'XYZ 2' UNION ALL
SELECT 3, 'XYZ 3' UNION ALL
SELECT 4, 'XYZ 4' UNION ALL
SELECT 5, 'XYZ 5' UNION ALL
SELECT 6, 'XYZ 6' UNION ALL
SELECT 7, 'XYZ 7' UNION ALL
SELECT 8, 'XYZ 8'


SELECT TOP 1 * FROM
(
    SELECT TOP 5 * FROM
    (
        SELECT TOP 5 * FROM #SampleTable
        ORDER BY Id ASC
    ) T
    ORDER BY Id DESC
) T1

DROP TABLE #SampleTable
