## Name

SPI_cursor_move -- move a cursor

## Synopsis

    void SPI_cursor_move(Portal portal, bool forward, long count)

## Description

`SPI_cursor_move` skips over some number of rows in a cursor. This is equivalent to a subset of the SQL command `MOVE` (see `SPI_scroll_cursor_move` for more functionality).

## Arguments

`Portal `portal``

  portal containing the cursor

`bool `forward``

  true for move forward, false for move backward

`long `count``

  maximum number of rows to move

## Notes

Moving backward may fail if the cursor's plan was not created with the `CURSOR_OPT_SCROLL` option.
