Hi,
I was wondering if it might be worth making ROW/ROWS optional for
OFFSET and FETCH clauses? And can ONLY be optional too?
So:
OFFSET start { ROW | ROWS }
FETCH { FIRST | NEXT } [ count ] { ROW | ROWS } ONLY
Would become
OFFSET start [ ROW | ROWS ]
FETCH { FIRST | NEXT } [ count ] [ ROW | ROWS ] [ONLY]
So instead of:
SELECT *
FROM my_table
OFFSET 4 ROWS
FETCH FIRST 10 ROWS ONLY;
one could write:
SELECT *
FROM my_table
OFFSET 4
FETCH FIRST 10;
The only case where ROW would be mandatory would be for FETCH FIRST ROW ONLY.
...although I suspect I'm missing something obvious or reasonable here ;)
