Hi everyone. I have to translate a stored procedure from sql to postgresql. I used an online convertor. But I don't know how to translate that snippet: (sql SP)

DECLARE curs CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR

The convertor translated it like this:

DECLARE curs CURSOR FAST_FORWARD FOR

But when I tried to create the function in postgresql it gives me "ERROR: syntax error at or near "FAST_FORWARD"". So my question is: Is there postgresql equivalent for the sql "FAST_FORWARD" keyword?

What I have tried:

I tried to research the issue in google and stackoverflow but I did not find the answer.

Did you try the Postgresql documentation: PostgreSQL: Documentation: 8.4: Cursors[^] ?

I read it but did not find any solution there.

My reading of that (and the error message you see) suggests fairly clearly that postgresql does not have a FAST_FORWARD option.

Ok thank you

You could try using NO_SCROLL which prevents backward fetches, and probably does much the same thing.
