Thomas G. Lockhart c05f29e895 Augment the date/time examples in the User's Guide to reflect the newer
capabilities of specifying time zones as intervals per SQL9x.
Put refentrytitle contents on the same line as the tag.
 Otherwise, leading whitespace is propagated into the product, which
 (at least) messes up the ToC layout.
Remove (some) docinfo tags containing dates. Best to omit if the dates
 are not accurate; maybe use CVS dates instead or leave them out.

Set up and use a cursor:
<programlisting>
BEGIN WORK;
DECLARE liahona CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM films;
-- Skip first 5 rows:
MOVE FORWARD 5 IN liahona;
<computeroutput>
MOVE
</computeroutput>
-- Fetch 6th row in the cursor liahona:
FETCH 1 IN liahona;
<computeroutput>
FETCH
code | title | did | date_prod | kind | len
-------+--------+-----+-----------+--------+-------
P_303 | 48 Hrs | 103 | 1982-10-22| Action | 01:37
(1 row)
</computeroutput>
-- close the cursor liahona and commit work:
CLOSE liahona;
COMMIT WORK;
</programlisting>

SQL92
</title>
<para>
There is no <acronym>SQL92</acronym> <command>MOVE</command> statement.
Instead, <acronym>SQL92</acronym> allows
one to <command>FETCH</command> rows from an absolute cursor position,
implicitly moving the cursor to the correct position.
