MOVE(7)

NAME

   MOVE - position a cursor

SYNOPSIS

   MOVE [ direction [ FROM | IN ] ] cursor_name

   where direction can be empty or one of:

       NEXT
       PRIOR
       FIRST
       LAST
       ABSOLUTE count
       RELATIVE count
       count

       FORWARD
       FORWARD count
       FORWARD ALL
       BACKWARD
       BACKWARD count

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(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.
