Are you subscribed to general? We had a big discussion there and there
was almost universal agreement that the LIMIT #,# syntax is too
error-prone, and the only reason to have it was for MySQL compatibility.
Of course, our syntax is backward, so is it not a compatibility but an
incompatibility.
Everyone thought LIMIT # OFFSET # was preferred.
I don't mind reversing out all of this but I can't make everyone happy.
