man, whenever developers port something from PHP to Python it really
cracks me up.  I remember when I first saw
http://phplens.com/lens/adodb/adodb-py-docs.htm .  I felt sorry for
the guy and wanted to tell him about this thing called dbapi, built
into Python.  It looks like someone finally told him since he now has
a disclaimer on the site (but that wasn't there originally).  What's
even funnier is his disclaimer points out a way of unifying select
limits with SelectLimit but then in the list of supported databases
there is a note in each one about the differences in how SelectLimit
works.
