NAME

6       MOVE - position a cursor
7
8

SYNOPSIS

10       MOVE [ direction { FROM | IN } ] cursorname
11
12

DESCRIPTION

14       MOVE  repositions  a  cursor  without  retrieving any data.  MOVE works
15       exactly like the FETCH command, except it only positions the cursor and
16       does not return rows.
17
18       The parameters for the MOVE command are identical to those of the FETCH
19       command; refer to FETCH [fetch(7)] for details on syntax and usage.
20

OUTPUTS

22       On successful completion, a MOVE command returns a command tag  of  the
23       form
24
25       MOVE count
26
27       The  count  is  the  number  of rows that a FETCH command with the same
28       parameters would have returned (possibly zero).
