DESCRIPTION

29       MOVE repositions a cursor without retrieving any data.  MOVE works
30       exactly like the FETCH command, except it only positions the cursor and
31       does not return rows.
32
33       The parameters for the MOVE command are identical to those of the FETCH
34       command; refer to FETCH(7) for details on syntax and usage.
35

OUTPUTS

37       On successful completion, a MOVE command returns a command tag of the
38       form
39
40           MOVE count
41
42       The count is the number of rows that a FETCH command with the same
43       parameters would have returned (possibly zero).

EXAMPLES

46           BEGIN WORK;
47           DECLARE liahona CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM films;
48
49           -- Skip the first 5 rows:
50           MOVE FORWARD 5 IN liahona;
51           MOVE 5
52
53           -- Fetch the 6th row from the cursor liahona:
54           FETCH 1 FROM liahona;
55            code  | title  | did | date_prod  |  kind  |  len
56           -------+--------+-----+------------+--------+-------
57            P_303 | 48 Hrs | 103 | 1982-10-22 | Action | 01:37
58           (1 row)
59
60           -- Close the cursor liahona and end the transaction:
61           CLOSE liahona;
62           COMMIT WORK;
