[sqlite] ? placeholder not allowed in LIMIT or OFFSET clause of SELECT statement?

[Eric Scouten]

When I attempt to prepare the following statement using sqlite3_prepare:
   SELECT id FROM testEntity LIMIT 5 OFFSET ?;
I get the following error back from SQLite:
   near "?": syntax error
Is this really not allowed? If so, that seems a bit odd to me. This 
seems like a classic use-case for prepared statements (re-running the 
same query with different offsets).

Or is there something else I'm missing?
