Rails - Apr 2006 - function parsing different sql options

Hello, 
 Is there any function which will parse different sql options and add them to
a sql query?

I found this `add_limit_offset!'' function, but it is an instance method
and I am
not able to use it as a class method. Is there any workaround which will let
me use it a class method, or is there some other alternate function?

Thanks.
