Re: SQL commands needed to do ROLL-UP and ROLL-DOWN

Isn't there a way to determine the row to start the fetch with in SQL?
When you use SQL with Net.Data, you set a variable called START_ROW_NUM to
the row number you want and it works like a champ.  I would think that this
variable is setting something that the SQL CLI uses.

I do this to keep from needing persistence.  I can't say wherther it's the
best way to do what I'm doing, but it works.

Well, there IS a "fetch first n rows only" clause that came out at least in

V5R1. But I don't see that as the answer.

Isn't there something called persistent CGI? This'd leave the connection
kind of open, with its state preserved. net.data can do this, and that's
basically a CGI thing under the covers, I think.

Are you using embedded SQL? If so, you can decalre the cursor as
scrollable. But the problem still seems related to the state of the
connection - or rather the stateless nature of it. Persisten CGI would
preserve the state.
