Grab first X number of Records (SPROC)

Hi All,

I am totally new to MSSQL and stored procedures. I am trying to create a stored procedure that takes that is sent an int that represent a number of records to be returned.. not sure how to do this but this is what i've got:

ALTER PROCEDURE GetNewUserJob

@campaign_id int,
@amount int

AS
/* SET NOCOUNT ON */
SELECT TOP @amount campaign_to_email.email_id, email_addresses.email_address
FROM campaign_to_email INNER JOIN email_addresses ON
campaign_to_email.email_id = email_addresses.email_id
WHERE (campaign_to_email.campaign_id = @campaign_id)
AND campaign_to_email.in_job IS NULL
AND campaign_to_email.is_sent IS NULL
RETURN

Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

You can also use the TOP keyword in the select statement:
SELECT TOP 2 * FROM dbo.Orders
