Description
The Table API method limit() exists in two variants:
- limit(offset) returns all but the first offset records.
- limit(offset, fetch) returns fetch records starting from the offset's record.
Especially, the behavior of limit(offset) is confusing because one would rather expect a behavior of returning the offset first records instead of all but the offset first records.
Moreover, the only way to return the first x records is to specify a 0 offset as limit(0, x).
I propose to deprecate and replace both limit() variants by two new methods Table.offset(offset) and Table.fetch(fetch) that can be combined as follows:
table.orderBy(...).fetch(x) table.orderBy(...).offset(x) table.orderBy(...).offset(x).fetch(y)
