Bug #732: LIMIT clause bugs with insert...select

pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org writes:

The LIMIT clause is not working with SELECT command if SELECT is part of INSERT command.

Works fine for me in 7.2.1 and current development sources. What
PG version are you using?

regards, tom lane

Strange, it works here. What version are you using:

test=> create table xx as select * from pg_class where 1=0;
SELECT
test=> insert into xx select * from pg_class limit 1;
INSERT 16869 1
test=> select * from pg_class;
(1 row)
