<title>Description</title>
<para>
<command>MOVE</command> repositions a cursor without retrieving any data.
<command>MOVE</command> works exactly like the <command>FETCH</command>
command, except it only positions the cursor and does not return rows.
</para>
<para>
The parameters for the <command>MOVE</command> command are identical to
those of the <command>FETCH</command> command; refer to
<xref linkend="sql-fetch"/>
for details on syntax and usage.
</para>
</refsect1>
<refsect1>
<title>Outputs</title>
<para>
On successful completion, a <command>MOVE</command> command returns a command
tag of the form
<screen>
MOVE <replaceable class="parameter">count</replaceable>
</screen>
The <replaceable class="parameter">count</replaceable> is the number
of rows that a <command>FETCH</command> command with the same parameters
would have returned (possibly zero).
</para>
</refsect1>

<title>Examples</title>

-- Skip the first 5 rows:
MOVE FORWARD 5 IN liahona;
