Either the ANSI standard changed, or Rasmus needs to update his Bio...

"...he can be blamed for the ANSI92 SQL-defying LIMIT clause in mSQL 1.x
which has now, at least conceptually, crept into both MySQL and
PostgreSQL."

But, hey, I'm not gonna actually READ the ANSI standard to find out -- I'd
rather worry about what actually *WORKS* than what the SQL standard is,
which, sadly, is seldom easily reconciled with Real-Life (tm).
