The C++ Cursor Class

The Cursor class provides an iterator object for scrolling through the individual rows of a result set in a QueryResult.

For an overview see page C++ Classes

Normally a Cursor is instantiated by calling QueryResult method records(), then each row of the result set is accessed as a Record instance through the Cursor method next() as illustrated in the following code snippet:

 
    int showResults( PreparedStatement stmt )
    {
        QueryResult result( engine.executePreparedQuery(stmt) );
        ...
        Cursor* cursor = result->records();
        
        while ( cursor->hasNext() )
        {
            Record* rec = cursor->next();
            _AccountBalance ab;
            result->extract( rec, &ab, sizeof(ab) );
            printf("\t\tAccountBalance: id=%u, value=%u\n", ab.id, ab.value );
        }
    }
