Move cursor

hi
 
i need to use the MOVE function on a cursor, for extracting special rows.
the function is written in pl/pgSQL
 
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION TEST()
    RETURNS void AS $$
DECLARE

        childCursor CURSOR FOR select * from ... 
        childRecord adoc.xdb_child%ROWTYPE;
        dep int4 :=3;
BEGIN
    OPEN childCursor;
    LOOP
        MOVE FORWARD dep IN childCursor;
        FETCH childCursor INTO childRecord;
        EXIT WHEN not found;  
            raise notice '---> : % | % | %', childRecord.child_id, childRecord.evolution, childRecord.indx;
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE childCursor;

    RETURN void;
END;
$$ LANGUAGE plpgsql;
 
the function doesn't generate any error, but when i try to execute it, i get this message :
 
ERROR:  syntax error at or near "$1" at character 15
QUERY:  MOVE FORWARD  $1  IN  $2
CONTEXT:  PL/pgSQL function "test" line 10 at SQL statement
 
thanks in advance
 
 
    Will

I don't think PL/pgSQL implements cursors fully.  In particular,
I don't see MOVE in the PL/pgSQL parser; I don't know if that's
intentional or an oversight.  Maybe one of the developers will
comment.

Its cursor facility is certainly far weaker than what's presently in the
main SQL language.  I think this is at least partly historical accident
(ie we upgraded the main language and forgot about plpgsql).

Would adding MOVE to PL/pgSQL be a fairly trivial effort?  If so
then I'd consider having a go at it myself, unless it's something
somebody else could bang out in five minutes (and was willing to
do so).

does i hope that CURSOR will be fully implemented soon ?
(or maybe you know an alternative for my problem ? :) )
