Subject: cursors in plpgsql

Hi
I wanted to use some select result several times in pl/pgsql function.

DECLARE
   test	refcursor;
   x	record;
BEGIN
  open test for select...
  fetch test into x;
while found loop
   ...work...
   fetch test into x;
end loop;

...rewind cursor using move...
  fetch test...

Neither move backward 10000 in test;
nor
execute ''move backward 10000 in test'';
doesn't work.

In first case I get:
ERROR:  parser: parse error at or near "$1"...
In secod:
ERROR:  unexpected error -5 in EXECUTE of query...
I tried also with "perform" - I got no error, but also no valid result.

What should I do with it?
Or maybe is it possible somehow to use cursor in FOR..IN loop?

Regards,
Tomasz Myrta
