Method: Sequel::EmulateOffsetWithReverseAndCount#select_sql

Defined in:
lib/sequel/adapters/utils/emulate_offset_with_reverse_and_count.rb

#select_sqlObject

Emulate OFFSET support using reverse order in a subselect, requiring a count of the number of rows.

If offset is used, an order must be provided, since it needs to be reversed in the subselect. Note that the order needs to be unambiguous to work correctly, and you must select all columns that you are ordering on.
