- I would like to access the temporary file created by the a scrolling
- cursor. Anyone know how to do this (i.e. what is the mystery table name)?
-
- Here is what I would like to do
-
- Declare scrolling cursor sel_stmt
- Open sel_stmt
- RUN "insert into mystery_table VAULES (....) | isql database - -"
- ^^^^^^^^^^^^^
- FETCH next sel_stmt
-
-
- I am aware the I could create a scrolling cursor on an indexed column
- in a query set. And then do all FETCHES, UPDATES and DELETS on the actual
- table using the scrolling cursor as an index into the database.
