Man, maybe my mad Google skillz are not as mad as I thought :( The best I could come up with was on my first try, though as it's just a reply to a user asking for a different behavior of it, I doubt this is it: http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2002-10/msg01293.php Google search terms: site:archives.postgresql.org "tom lane" "limit -1" "negative" While I haven't looked at the code myself, I tend to agree with Simon and Greg... I know of no reason to allow a negative limit/offset. -- Jonah H.
