Обсуждение: FETCH FIRST

SQL200n specifies a new command similar to our LIMIT

FETCH { FIRST | NEXT } n { ROW | ROWS } ONLY

and also that the OFFSET command can have an optional suffix

{ ROW | ROWS }

Seems like a % project for the TODO list

Where does this FETCH appear in a SELECT?

It's supposed to go *after* the OFFSET clause in a query, but making it
a simple synonym for LIMIT seems most sensible.

It's also allowed as part of the WITH clause (that we don't yet have).

Huh?  OFFSET isn't in standard SQL either.  Are you sure you're not
confusing FETCH-from-a-cursor with SELECT?
