- .pgaw:Help.f.t insert end "FETCH" {bold} " FETCH allows a user to retrieve rows using a cursor. The number of rows retrieved is specified by #. If the number of rows remaining in the cursor is less than #, then only those available are
- fetched. Substituting the keyword ALL in place of a number will cause all remaining rows in the cursor to be retrieved. Instances may be fetched in both FORWARD and BACKWARD
- directions. The default direction is FORWARD.
- Tip: Negative numbers are now allowed to be specified for the row count. A negative number is equivalent to reversing the sense of the FORWARD and BACKWARD
- keywords. For example, FORWARD -1 is the same as BACKWARD 1.
- Note that the FORWARD and BACKWARD keywords are Postgres extensions. The SQL92 syntax is also supported, specified in the second form of the command. See below for details on
- compatibility issues.
- Once all rows are fetched, every other fetch access returns no rows.
- Updating data in a cursor is not supported by Postgres, because mapping cursor updates back to base tables is not generally possible, as is also the case with VIEW updates. Consequently,
- users must issue explicit UPDATE commands to replace data.
- Cursors may only be used inside of transactions because the data that they store spans multiple user queries.
