Appendix F: ODBC Cursor Library


 

Cursor Library Code Example

The following example uses the cursor library to retrieve each order's ID, open date, and status from the ORDERS table. It then displays 20 rows of data. If the user updates this data, the code updates the rowset buffers and executes a positioned update statement. Finally, it prompts the user for the direction to scroll and repeats the process.
