如何使用LIMIT子句生成SQL语句但在jOOQ中没有OFFSET子句？

Question

I'm trying to use jOOQ to generate the following SQL statement:

SELECT id, name
FROM students
ORDER BY id DESC
LIMIT 50;

To generate the above statement with jOOQ:

String sql = DSL.using(SQLDialect.POSTGRES).select(
  field("id"),
  field("name"))
  .from("students")
  .orderBy(field("id").desc())
  .limit(inline(50))
  .getSQL();

But I get the following:

select id, name from students order by id desc limit 50 offset ?

How do I remove the OFFSET clause? I know that I can specify the offset value to 0, which is same as omitting the OFFSET clause, but I want to know whether I can completely remove it from the generated SQL statement.

Thank you.

You're right, jOOQ 3.4.2 currently renders an OFFSET clause for PostgreSQL, regardless of whether it was specified by users through the API or not. That could probably be improved. I've created issue #3577 for this.

Currently, there isn't really an "easy" way to change the generated SQL in this case. You could be implementing an ExecuteListener , and patch the generated SQL - but you'd also have to get rid of the bind value.
