To be clear, is it the devs or the ORM that's adding the ORDER and the
LIMIT? I'm betting on devs. Do they need the smallest id (first
occurrance?) or do they need data common to all 5096 entries (Name?) and
any record will do?. For the former they might be better off asking for
just the attributes they need and for the latter you need to provide an
option which gets them that single record. Of course, If they have the
"smallest id" in hand they should request that.
