MOVE(7) 							   SQL Commands 							   MOVE(7)

NAME
       MOVE - position a cursor

SYNOPSIS
       MOVE [ direction { FROM | IN } ] cursorname

DESCRIPTION
       MOVE  repositions a cursor without retrieving any data.	MOVE works exactly like the FETCH command, except it only positions the cursor and
       does not return rows.

       The parameters for the MOVE command are identical to those of the FETCH command; refer to FETCH [fetch(7)] for details on syntax and usage.

OUTPUTS
       On successful completion, a MOVE command returns a command tag of the form

       MOVE count

       The count is the number of rows that a FETCH command with the same parameters would have returned (possibly zero).

EXAMPLES
       BEGIN WORK;
       DECLARE liahona CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM films;

       -- Skip the first 5 rows:
       MOVE FORWARD 5 IN liahona;
       MOVE 5

       -- Fetch the 6th row from the cursor liahona:
       FETCH 1 FROM liahona;
	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 end the transaction:
       CLOSE liahona;
       COMMIT WORK;

COMPATIBILITY
       There is no MOVE statement in the SQL standard.
