ECPG and Curors.

I'm looking at the documentation for Postgresql in Chapter 30 and I'm
checking out how to use FETCH INTO and CURSORs to loop through multiple
results from a table.

In the documentation they show something like

EXEC SQL DECLARE foo CURSOR for select a,b,c from test_table

do {
EXEC SQL FETCH NEXT FROM foo INTO ....

} while ( ... );

what I don't see is how to detect that I've fetched the last row from a
query.   Is there more complete doco on this process somewhere?

Just look for "exec sql whenever not found ..."

You could either handle a NOT FOUND exception, or make use of SQLCODE or
SQLSTATE like this...


EXEC SQL DECLARE csr_fred CURSOR FOR SELECT....

EXEC SQL OPEN csr_fred;

while (SQLCODE == 0) {
    EXEC SQL FETCH csr_fred INTO :jim, :sheila,...

    if (SQLCODE == 0) {

        ....
        body of row processing here
        ....
    }
}

EXEC SQL CLOSE csr_fred;
