Hello,
Alright I am querying through a linked server using an LDAP query. In the LDAP data store I get an error saying that it can't get more than 1000 records. I've done research and that is the default page size...ok i understand that. So I run a query in SQL and it errors on one of my profiles(I have 6 profiles), the one that has more than 1000 records.
It only allows me to bring back 901 records, and how i know that is if I " select top 901 from openquery...." if I change it to 902 it errors.
I dont know if a cursor is what i need but can I run a stored procedure with a cursor in it to grab say 200 or 500 records at a time. So it'll loop through once and grab 500, then loop through it again and grab 500 then again 500 until it gets them all, but I need to learn how to let my procedure know which ones were already processed. At the end of my procedure i am just putting these results into a table i already have made.
I really don't know how many records are in the LDAP, atleast more than a 1000 but its no more than 5000.
I will post my stored procedure, this procedure works for the first 5 profiles and fails on the last. It works for the first 5 because there are only about 21 records between the 5, and the last has a ton of records.
The @PN is the profile name I am inserting in there from a function i have previously made. I did take out my LDAP connection info as well.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I am using SQL Server Mang studio 2008
