Well ideally the answer would be to wrap each FETCH in a savepoint and roll back to the savepoint if it fails. However I just tried it and this doesn't work. So I think the answer is you can't, sorry. One alternative would be to store the result set in a temporary table with an index on it. Then you could execute a separate query for each record you want to look up and wrap that query in a savepoint if you want to do it in a transaction and recover from errors. It wouldn't have the same performance profile as using a cursor. It would use more resources in most cases and the lookups will be slower. Though if you keep this data around for a long time you might actually be better off since you could use a real non-temporary table and not be forced to keep around transactions for long periods of time tying up other resources. -- Gregory Stark EnterpriseDB http://www.enterprisedb.com
