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
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

-- Close the cursor liahona and end the transaction:
