   <code class="command">FETCH</code> retrieves rows using a previously-created cursor.
  </p><p>
   A cursor has an associated position, which is used by
   <code class="command">FETCH</code>.  The cursor position can be before the first row of the
   query result, on any particular row of the result, or after the last row
   of the result.  When created, a cursor is positioned before the first row.
   After fetching some rows, the cursor is positioned on the row most recently
   retrieved.  If <code class="command">FETCH</code> runs off the end of the available rows
   then the cursor is left positioned after the last row, or before the first
   row if fetching backward.  <code class="command">FETCH ALL</code> or <code class="command">FETCH BACKWARD
   ALL</code> will always leave the cursor positioned after the last row or before
   the first row.
  </p><p>
   The forms <code class="literal">NEXT</code>, <code class="literal">PRIOR</code>, <code class="literal">FIRST</code>,
   <code class="literal">LAST</code>, <code class="literal">ABSOLUTE</code>, <code class="literal">RELATIVE</code> fetch
   a single row after moving the cursor appropriately.  If there is no
   such row, an empty result is returned, and the cursor is left
   positioned before the first row or after the last row as
   appropriate.
  </p><p>
   The forms using <code class="literal">FORWARD</code> and <code class="literal">BACKWARD</code>
   retrieve the indicated number of rows moving in the forward or
   backward direction, leaving the cursor positioned on the
   last-returned row (or after/before all rows, if the <em class="replaceable"><code>count</code></em> exceeds the number of rows
   available).
  </p><p>
   <code class="literal">RELATIVE 0</code>, <code class="literal">FORWARD 0</code>, and
   <code class="literal">BACKWARD 0</code> all request fetching the current row without
   moving the cursor, that is, re-fetching the most recently fetched
   row.  This will succeed unless the cursor is positioned before the
   first row or after the last row; in which case, no row is returned.

   On successful completion, a <code class="command">FETCH</code> command returns a command
   tag of the form
</p><pre class="screen">
FETCH <em class="replaceable"><code>count</code></em>
</pre><p>
   The <em class="replaceable"><code>count</code></em> is the number
   of rows fetched (possibly zero).  Note that in
   <span class="application">psql</span>, the command tag will not actually be
   displayed, since <span class="application">psql</span> displays the fetched
   rows instead.
  </p></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.149.9"><h2>Notes</h2><p>
   The cursor should be declared with the <code class="literal">SCROLL</code>
   option if one intends to use any variants of <code class="command">FETCH</code>
   other than <code class="command">FETCH NEXT</code> or <code class="command">FETCH FORWARD</code> with
   a positive count.  For simple queries
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> will allow backwards fetch
   from cursors not declared with <code class="literal">SCROLL</code>, but this
   behavior is best not relied on. If the cursor is declared with
   <code class="literal">NO SCROLL</code>, no backward fetches are allowed.
  </p><p>
   <code class="literal">ABSOLUTE</code> fetches are not any faster than
   navigating to the desired row with a relative move: the underlying
   implementation must traverse all the intermediate rows anyway.
   Negative absolute fetches are even worse: the query must be read to
   the end to find the last row, and then traversed backward from
   there.  However, rewinding to the start of the query (as with
   <code class="literal">FETCH ABSOLUTE 0</code>) is fast.
  </p><p>
   <a class="xref" href="sql-declare.html" title="DECLARE"><span class="refentrytitle">DECLARE</span></a>
   is used to define a cursor.  Use
   <a class="xref" href="sql-move.html" title="MOVE"><span class="refentrytitle">MOVE</span></a>
   to change cursor position without retrieving data.

</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.149.11"><h2>Compatibility</h2><p>
   The SQL standard defines <code class="command">FETCH</code> for use in
   embedded SQL only.  The variant of <code class="command">FETCH</code>
   described here returns the data as if it were a
   <code class="command">SELECT</code> result rather than placing it in host
   variables.  Other than this point, <code class="command">FETCH</code> is
   fully upward-compatible with the SQL standard.
  </p><p>
   The <code class="command">FETCH</code> forms involving
   <code class="literal">FORWARD</code> and <code class="literal">BACKWARD</code>, as well
   as the forms <code class="literal">FETCH <em class="replaceable"><code>count</code></em></code> and <code class="literal">FETCH
   ALL</code>, in which <code class="literal">FORWARD</code> is implicit, are
   <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> extensions.
  </p><p>
   The SQL standard allows only <code class="literal">FROM</code> preceding the cursor
   name; the option to use <code class="literal">IN</code>, or to leave them out altogether, is
   an extension.
