CREATE TABLE 
gaussdb=# INSERT INTO t1 VALUES (generate_series(1,50), 1);
INSERT 0 50
gaussdb=# EXPLAIN SELECT * FROM t1 LIMIt 10 OFFSET 20;
                        QUERY PLAN                        
----------------------------------------------------------
 Limit  (cost=0.29..0.44 rows=10 width=8)
   ->  Seq Scan on t1  (cost=0.00..31.49 rows=10 width=8)
