Just thought scrollable cursors would be a nicety, as in

        int bob = db.records[100].fields(4);

rather than sitting in a 'while()' loop iterating through one at a time.

What sort of design considerations do you have in mind ?  In case it doesn't
stick out like a sore thumb, I'm pretty new to ODBC programming :)

Cheers,

        Pete =:-)

No, sorry.

Why do you need it anyway?  I've not found a use for scrollable cursors
yet that could not be alleviated by more appropriate design.  ;-)
