You seem to misunderstand how LIMIT clause works. LIMIT applies to the query as a whole, not to individual conditions, and restricts the number of rows retuned by the statement. As such, it always appears at the end. E.g. select field1, field2 from table1 where field2 = 'white' limit 4; returns up to four rows from the table that have field2 = 'white'. What is your query supposed to achieve? Could you describe your goal in plain English?
