Hi All!

First of all, I'm not sure if it is on-topic here. If not, show a correct
place to me, please.

I've got some problems with cursors and move command.
I write a program using libpq and I have something like this:

BEGIN
DECLARE cur CURSOR FOR SELECT num FROM zlec
FETCH FORWARD 2 IN cur
MOVE BACKWARD ALL IN cur
FETCH FORWARD 2 IN cur

In the last FETCH command PQresultStatus(res) returns PGRES_TUPLES_OK, but
PQntuples(res) returns 0.
Is it a correct behaviour of the move command? Or I missed something?

The cursors have never really worked right.  Especially the move seems
wrong, once you go off the edge, you're screwed.  

Dave Hartwig was close to a fix for this at one point, but he gave up.
