How universal is the LIMIT statement in SQL?

Question

I\'m in the process of generalizing a Django DB replication app and it uses the statement:

SELECT %s FROM %s LIMIT 1

to fetch 1 row and use

Answer 1

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Select_(SQL)#Limiting_result_rows lists all of the major variants of the select command.

I believe the best way to do this is to use the SET ROWCOUNT command before your SELECT statement.

So, for you:

SET ROWCOUNT 1
SELECT %s FROM %s
