Superset SQL parser does not recognize FETCH FIRST clause causing syntax error when appending LIMIT clause

[hab6]

Bug description

In sql_parse.py, the Superset SQL parser is able to recognize and handle row limiting clauses that use keywords LIMIT and TOP but does not handle the FETCH FIRST clause, which is used by some databases, including Ingres and PostgreSQL. With Ingres, the FETCH FIRST clause is required if using the OFFSET keyword in a SQL SELECT statement.

If an [OFFSET] FETCH FIRST clause is used in a SQL statement, the Superset parser still appends a LIMIT clause, which makes the SQL syntactically invalid.

The problem can be worked around by setting SQL_MAX_ROW=0 in superset_config.py, but this requires restarting Superset and doesn't fit well if SQL_MAX_ROW needs to be set to a value greater than zero for other reasons.

I found the following two older issues that reported similar problems using DB2 and Teradata, but they don't seem to have addressed the issue that still exists when using a FETCH FIRST clause.

#5063 and #9600

How to reproduce the bug

The problem can be reproduced using Superset SQL Lab with an Ingres or Postgres database by trying to execute an adhoc SQL statement such as SELECT * FROM myschema.people OFFSET 5 FETCH FIRST 3 ROWS ONLY in SQL Lab. Superset reports an error because the SQL parser appends a LIMIT clause, which makes the SQL syntactically invalid:

SELECT * FROM myschema.people OFFSET 5 FETCH FIRST 3 ROWS ONLY LIMIT 11
SupersetErrorsException
[42000] [Actian][Actian ODBC Driver][INGRES]line 2,
Syntax error on \'LIMIT\' at or near \' fetch first 3 rows only\\nLIMIT\' ...

Checklist

• I have searched Superset docs and Slack and didn't find a solution to my problem.
• I have searched the GitHub issue tracker and didn't find a similar bug report.
• I have checked Superset's logs for errors and if I found a relevant Python stacktrace, I included it here as text in the "additional context" section.

I see a couple linked/merged PRs here. Is this still an issue? If so, maybe @betodealmeida can weigh in here, since this might be resolved by the SQLParse/SQLGlot migration.
