Postgres doesn't like this and I assume it isn't SQL standards
compliant and need to refer to this in my bug report.

As far as I know you can not specify a limit for update in Postgres, at least not in that way.

if you want to do

UPDATE foo SET a='bar' where b LIMIT 1;

this is possible in Postgres doing:

UPDATE foo SET a = 'bar
WHERE foo.oid IN
( SELECT f.oid
  FROM foo f
  WHERE b
  LIMIT 1
);


This fail if the table are created without OID.
