Per the other queries, it'd be nice to be able to do options on delete.
For the resource loader maintenance script to do cleanupRemovedModules, there is a "LIMIT $limit", which can't be accommodated via $db->delete()
You need to do db->$query() etc.
Not a big deal, just not got time/inclination to look at/do this now for all databases etc

In Postgres you'll have to do the trick with DELETE FROM table WHERE ctid IN (SELECT ctid FROM table WHERE ... LIMIT n) - ewwww.
SQLite and Oracle support LIMIT in DELETE.
Change 131890 had a related patch set uploaded by Withoutaname:
Expand Database.php delete() function parameter list
Change 131890 abandoned by Withoutaname:
Expand Database.php delete() function parameter list
As I understand it we don't want to support this for replication safety reasons. Deletion statements should not be limited in this way, but rather select by primary key in batches, and then delete those in chunks.
The mentioned script (cleanupRemovedModules) no longer needs this afaik.
