MOVE - Moves cursor position


SYNOPSIS

       MOVE [ direction ] [ count ]
           { IN | FROM } cursor


DESCRIPTION

       MOVE  allows  a  user  to move cursor position a specified
       number of rows.  MOVE works like the  FETCH  command,  but
       only positions the cursor and does not return rows.

       Refer to FETCH [fetch(l)] for details on syntax and usage.

   NOTES
       MOVE is a Postgres language extension.

       Refer to FETCH [fetch(l)] for a description of valid argu­
       ments.   Refer to DECLARE [declare(l)] to define a cursor.
       Refer to BEGIN [begin(l)], COMMIT [commit(l)],  and  ROLL­
       BACK  [rollback(l)] for further information about transac­
       tions.


USAGE

       Set up and use a cursor:

       BEGIN WORK;
       DECLARE liahona CURSOR  FOR SELECT * FROM films;
       -- Skip first 5 rows:
       MOVE FORWARD 5 IN liahona;
       MOVE
       -- Fetch 6th row in the cursor liahona:
       FETCH 1 IN liahona;
       FETCH

        code  | title  | did | date_prod | kind   | len
       -------+--------+-----+-----------+--------+-------
        P_303 | 48 Hrs | 103 | 1982-10-22| Action | 01:37
       (1 row)
       -- close the cursor liahona and commit work:
       CLOSE liahona;
       COMMIT WORK;


COMPATIBILITY

   SQL92
       There is no SQL92 MOVE statement.  Instead,  SQL92  allows
       one  to  FETCH  rows  from  an  absolute  cursor position,
       implicitly moving the cursor to the correct position.
