Maybe that's not a problematic assumption, not sure. The grammar happens to allow both FOR UPDATE LIMIT n and LIMIT n FOR UPDATE even though only the latter syntax is documented. Regarding the other patch on this thread, you mentioned upthread that "If it is possible to get more than one SubqueryScanState and/or ResultState between the limit and sort, then the first block of code could be placed in a while loop." I think that's not possible for a ResultState, but I think it *is* possible for a SubqueryScanState. -- Robert Haas EnterpriseDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company
