Chapter 8: Saving Rows in Save Sets
Home Contents Index Master Index New Book

In This Chapter

Save sets provide a mechanism for fetching multiple rows from the database server into program memory for processing.

As "Processing Results" indicates, when an application fetches rows from the database server in an mi_next_row() loop, only one row is current at a time. The row being fetched is current only until the next row is fetched. Sometimes, however, an application requires simultaneous access to several rows at a time to perform comparisons or other types of processing. Multiple rows are available in a save set.
