Hi David,

Not really. Many other databases don't do it either. That is something
that should be done on the server if it is done at all otherwise you are
tranferring a large chunk of data to the client for the client to process.
The whole point of the db is to have the server process the data and not
overload the network or the client with large gobs of unneeded data.

If you design your queries properly you should get atable of pretty much
what you want.

Can you tell us what you are trying to accomplish that you need scrolling
cursors for? Maybe we can suggest an alternative withing the abilities of
JayBird.

Rick
