Solutions

1. The max-rows value could not be read from the given object. Pass an integer-compatible value.

When it happens

Trigger: A non-integer value is used where an integer literal is required: Can't get max rows value from: <value>

Common situations: Passing non-numeric limit/offset expressions or hints that must be integer literals.
