@ -38,9 +38,8 @@ Migration to 7.2
A dump/restore using pg_dump is required for those wishing to migrate
data from any previous release. One significant change is that
SELECT ... LIMIT 10,20 now uses the 10 as the OFFSET and the 20 as
the LIMIT. Previous versions had this reversed. This change was
made for MySQL compatibility.
the SELECT ... LIMIT 10,20 syntax is no longer supported. You must
now use LIMIT 10 OFFSET 20 to accomplish the same thing.
