MySQL has a nice feature (although non standard) which allow to query resultsets’ limit, offset as
SELECT * FROM TABLE LIMIT M, N;
Is it created by MySQL? or Postgres?
Between PostgreSQL and MySQL, PostgreSQL copied the syntax LIMIT from MySQL (in v6.5), and added the OFFSET syntax (it may be that that was copied as well, but I think mysql only had the comma-syntax back then). It was then (7.2) changed to only allow “LIMIT foo OFFSET bar” because the MySQL syntax was unclear.
