move

MOVE(7) 							   SQL Commands 							   MOVE(7)

NAME

       MOVE - position a cursor on a specified row of a table

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(7)] for details on syntax and usage.

   NOTES
       MOVE is a PostgreSQL language extension.

       Refer to FETCH [fetch(7)] for a description of valid arguments.	Refer to  DECLARE  [declare(7)]  to  define  a	cursor.   Refer  to  BEGIN
       [begin(7)], COMMIT [commit(7)], and ROLLBACK [rollback(7)] for further information about transactions.

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.
