Description
Use the MOVE command to reposition a cursor. This command operates essentially the same as the FETCH command. However, unlike FETCH, it does not use the cursor to return the traversed rows after it is repositioned.
Examples
The following examples assume a transaction and an already defined cursor (cur_employee) that uses the employees table for data. Using the MOVE command, this example moves the cursor one row forward in the result set:
booktown=# MOVE FORWARD 1 IN cur_employee;
MOVE
The only output returned by using this command is the message MOVE. The next example uses the FETCH command to display the second row of the cursor, after moving:
booktown=# FETCH 1 IN cur_employee;
first_name | last_name
