Re: <No Subject Supplied>

}>>>>>>>>> Perry's response to Billy Wheeler <<<<<<<<<< Only advantage is that you can fetch forward and backward, or fetch an absolute row. I use this technique in our code generator, but our applications don't use it anywhere. If you don't need the ability to go backward or to get a specific row in the cursor by number then it doesn't do you much good. I don't know for sure, but it may use a little more resources as well. } From: "Billy Wheeler" <billy.wheeler@pixie.co.za> } To: informix-list@rmy.emory.edu (Informix List), } Hal Wigoda <hwigoda@mcs.com> } Date: Tue, 2 Apr 1996 17:32:25 +2 } Subject: Re: <No Subject Supplied> } } > A collegue of mine asked me what was the advantage in using a scroll } > cursaor versus using an array of rowid in building a query. } } Simpler, more maintainable code? } -- } } Cheers, } } Billy } } ---------------------------------------------------------- } e-ddress: billy.wheeler@pixie.co.za } SMS: 27832502324@sms.netcs.net } Work: +27 11 803 2151 } Fax: +27 11 803 2189 } Cell: +27 83 250 2324 } ---------------------------------------------------------- } -perryd ==================================================================== = Perry Dillard - Chief Architect Direct Dial: (206)517-6430 = = FourGen Software, Inc.
