move

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.

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.
