Re: How do I detect End-of-table or End-of-limit ?

I don't think there's an actual "EOF".  What you see is an "end of
tuples in the result set".  Whether it is because you ran into the
LIMIT, or because you fell off the end of the table, you can't tell (nor
can the server actually).

Maybe it's more appropriate for you to open a cursor for the whole
table, and then do FETCH from it until it runs out of tuples; you will
know then that it's the end of the table.
