<h2>Name</h2>
<p>MOVE — position a cursor</p>
</div>
<a name="id778673"></a><a name="id778683"></a><div class="refsynopsisdiv">
<h2>Synopsis</h2>
<pre class="synopsis">MOVE [ <em class="replaceable"><code>direction</code></em> { FROM | IN } ] <em class="replaceable"><code>cursorname</code></em></pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id778714"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p> <code class="command">MOVE</code> repositions a cursor without retrieving any data.
<code class="command">MOVE</code> works exactly like the <code class="command">FETCH</code>
command, except it only positions the cursor and does not return rows.
</p>
<p> Refer to
<a href="sql-fetch.html">FETCH</a>
for details on syntax and usage.
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id778757"></a><h2>Outputs</h2>
<p> On successful completion, a <code class="command">MOVE</code> command returns a command
tag of the form
</p>
<pre class="screen">MOVE <em class="replaceable"><code>count</code></em></pre>
<p>
The <em class="replaceable"><code>count</code></em> is the number
of rows that a <code class="command">FETCH</code> command with the same parameters
would have returned (possibly zero).
</p>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id778798"></a><h2>Examples</h2>
<pre class="programlisting">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;

-------+--------+-----+------------+--------+-------
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;</pre>
</div>
<div class="refsect1" lang="en">
<a name="id778814"></a><h2>Compatibility</h2>
<p> There is no <code class="command">MOVE</code> statement in the SQL standard.
