Description

SPI_cursor_fetch fetches some rows from a cursor. This is equivalent to a subset of the SQL command FETCH (see SPI_scroll_cursor_fetch for more functionality).

Arguments

Portal portal

portal containing the cursor

bool forward

true for fetch forward, false for fetch backward

long count

Return Value
