SQL Server 2014 - Incorrect syntax near OFFSET - sql

Question

I'm using SQL Server 2014 management studio and I wanted to create a stored procedure but I have a problem at the very end of the code where the error "Incorrect syntax near OFFSET" appears.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[GetGamesPlayed]
#gameSession int,
#datestart datetime,
#dateend datetime,
#orderBy nvarchar(50) = 'email',
#sortOrder nvarchar(4) = 'asc',
#search nvarchar(50) = '',
#startRow int = 0,
#rows int = 2147483647
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SELECT t.*,
COUNT(*) OVER() AS filteredRows,
(SELECT COUNT(id) FROM gameplayed WHERE gameplayed.id_GameSession = #gameSession) AS totalRows
FROM (SELECT
DISTINCT GamesTable.[Game ID],
GamesTable.[Rep Id],
GamesTable.[User Id],
GamesTable.[Date],
GamesTable.[Email],
GamesTable.[Name],
GamesTable.[Phone Number],
GamesTable.[Tokens Played],
CASE
WHEN prizewon.pending = 1 THEN 'Pending'
WHEN prizewon.skillTestingQCorrect = 1 AND prizewon.rulesAccepted = 1 THEN 'Yes'
ELSE 'No'
END AS [Won]
FROM PrizeWon
RIGHT OUTER JOIN (
SELECT
GamePlayed.id AS [Game ID],
GamePlayed.playedOn AS [Date],
users.repId AS [Rep Id],
users.id AS [User Id],
users.fullName AS [Name],
users.email AS [Email],
users.phoneNumber AS [Phone Number],
GamePlayed.tokensPlayed AS [Tokens Played]
FROM GamePlayed
INNER JOIN Users on GamePlayed.id_Users = Users.id
WHERE GamePlayed.id_GameSession = #gameSession) AS GamesTable ON GamesTable.[Game ID] = prizewon.id_GamePlayed
WHERE GamesTable.Date >= #datestart
AND GamesTable.Date <= #dateend
AND ( GamesTable.[Email] LIKE '%' + #search + '%'
OR GamesTable.[Rep Id] LIKE '%' + #search + '%'
OR GamesTable.[Name] LIKE '%' + #search + '%'
OR GamesTable.[Game ID] LIKE '%' + #search + '%'
)
) t
--order by cases must be split into datatypes
ORDER BY
CASE WHEN #sortOrder = 'asc' THEN
CASE #orderBy -- nvarchar
WHEN 'repid' THEN t.[Rep Id]
WHEN 'name' THEN t.[Name]
WHEN 'email' THEN t.[Email]
WHEN 'phone' THEN t.[Phone Number]
WHEN 'won' THEN t.Won
END
END ASC,
CASE WHEN #sortOrder = 'asc' THEN
CASE #orderBy --date
WHEN 'date' THEN t.Date
END
END ASC,
CASE WHEN #sortOrder = 'asc' THEN
CASE #orderBy --int
WHEN 'id' THEN t.[Game ID]
WHEN 'tokens' THEN t.[Tokens Played]
END
END ASC,
CASE WHEN #sortOrder = 'desc' THEN
CASE #orderBy -- nvarchar
WHEN 'repid' THEN t.[Rep Id]
WHEN 'name' THEN t.[Name]
WHEN 'email' THEN t.[Email]
WHEN 'phone' THEN t.[Phone Number]
WHEN 'won' THEN t.Won
END
END DESC,
CASE WHEN #sortOrder = 'desc' THEN
CASE #orderBy --date
WHEN 'date' THEN t.Date
END
END DESC,
CASE WHEN #sortOrder = 'desc' THEN
CASE #orderBy --int
WHEN 'id' THEN t.[Game ID]
WHEN 'tokens' THEN t.[Tokens Played]
END
END DESC
OFFSET #startRow ROWS FETCH NEXT #rows ROWS ONLY
END
I have seen in other posts that the error may appear because the OFFSET is not after an ORDER BY, but in this case it is after one ORDER BY.
Another thing that I saw is that SQL Server 2008 doesn't support OFFSET, but I'm using 2014.
I have also checked that the variables that I'm using are declared and they all are...
Its pretty much the only error that is keeping me from creating the procedure. If anyone could help I'll be very greatful!

Answer 1

After a little research I used "SELECT ##version" and found out that my database version was 2008, which doesn't support OFFSET.
A quick update to version 2012 solved the issue.
