hello dear people without shaved necks!
as many of you have already told me cursors are the way to go - now I know!
there it is, kindly provided my BILL G.:
BEGIN;
DECLARE <cursorname> FOR <query>;
FETCH <number_of_rows> FROM <cursorname>;
MOVE {FORWARD|BACKWARD} <number_of_rows> IN <cursorname>;
THANK YOU ALL VERY VIEL (much in german)!!!
I will now have to implement session ID's into my CGI's...
oh by the way... lets say a transaction has begun and was never
commited.. what will happen to it?
is there a automatic rollback after a certain time?
or would there be ton's of open transactions?
