If you're talking about the PL/pgSQL procedural language, there is no (implicit or explicit) cursor support up to version 7.1. From version 7.2 on PL/pgSQL will automatically use implicit cursors in FOR loops and will support explicit cursors and reference cursors that can be passed around between functions and/or the main application.

ALL RIGHT!!! Sorry, just a bit of unrestrained enthusiasm. Is there a tentative timeline for 7.2? -Josh Berkus ______AGLIO DATABASE SOLUTIONS___________________________ Josh Berkus Complete informationtechnology josh@agliodbs.com and data management solutions (415) 565-7293 for law firms, small businesses fax 621-2533 and non-profit organizations.

With our last closeness of the real release date vs. the first estimations, and we don't even have a proposal up to now - well, maybe this or next year is the most precise I can tell you ;-} Jan -- #======================================================================# # It's easier to get forgiveness for being wrong than for being right. # # Let's break this rule - forgive me. # #================================================== JanWieck@Yahoo.com # _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

The problem last time was we'd decided that 7.1 would have WAL,
and WAL took forever, and we weren't in a position to back off
and make a release without it.
This cycle we don't have any comparable huge must-do projects.
I'm inclined to plan a 7.2 release cycle for late summer and
release with whatever's done by then. Anything that's not ready
will just have to wait for the next bus.
