I'm using SQL Server 2012 and I was wondering if there is a way to select, for example, the third result from a query. I have looked into LIMIT and OFFSET but I'm not 100% sure if it applies to SQL Server, however I've been told that there is something to do what I want in SQL Server 2012.

SELECT * FROM Employee; Now let's display the Nth record of the table. Syntax : SELECT * FROM <table_name> LIMIT N-1,1; Here N refers to the row which is to be retrieved.
Here's the SQL query to select every nth row in MySQL. mysql> select * from table_name where table_name.id mod n = 0; In the above query, we basically select every row whose id mod n value evaluates to zero.
The syntax is: SELECT column1, column2 FROM table1, table2 WHERE column2='value'; In the above SQL statement: The SELECT clause specifies one or more columns to be retrieved; to specify multiple columns, use a comma and a space between column names.
I would recommend
select * from table ORDER BY OrderingColumn ASC LIMIT n,1
This is a quirk of limit where if you give it a range, it only returns that range. It works in MySQL too.

SELECT *
FROM YourTable
ORDER BY OrderingColumn ASC
OFFSET 2 ROWS /*Skip first 2 rows*/
FETCH NEXT 1 ROWS ONLY
Note: You cannot use OFFSET ... FETCH without doing an ORDER BY first
