maybe. The dbapi module dose not deal with commands, so just because one server doesn't support the syntax doesn't mean the other doesn't. Now that I think about it, the code I posted my not be applicable to sybase for the exact same reason. OTOH, it is sql-92, so it is a good place to start. Oracle has the same problem. I just looked in the new code: # To support limits and offsets, Oracle requires some funky rewriting of an otherwise normal looking query. > This is especially true for databases > without a free license, as the core developers won't have access to > those databases for testing. sql-Express. 100% free. runs OK in a qemu vm. course this doesn't help with Sybase, but figured it was worth mentioning for anyone following along.
