Hi,

I've just been hit by a small but annoying difference between postgres(7.2)
and mysql(4.x).
In postgresql you do:

SELECT * FROM table FOR UPDATE LIMIT 1;

and in mysql you do:

SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 1 FOR UPDATE;

Is it possible for postgres to accept the mysql syntax as well?
It's not that many databases that implement LIMIT, so it would be nice if the
ones that do have the same syntax(or can accept each others variants).
