Subject RE: [ib-support] mySQL Limit to Firebird
Author Leyne, Sean
Tilo,

Ann Harrison is currently working on exposing the existing TOP X syntax
(it's in the engine just not exposed to the SQL interface) as part of
the work for Firebird v1.0.

The TOP X syntax implements only part of the mySQL LIMIT X, Y
functionality, so it won't be a complete replacement.

Accordingly, your friend should look to write a SELECT SP which provides
the necessary functionality.
