20.4.43 mysql_row_seek()

MYSQL_ROW_OFFSET mysql_row_seek(MYSQL_RES *result, MYSQL_ROW_OFFSET offset)

20.4.43.1 Description

Sets the row cursor to an arbitrary row in a query result set. This requires that the result set structure contains the entire result of the query, so mysql_row_seek() may be used in conjunction only with mysql_store_result(), not with mysql_use_result().

The offset should be a value returned from a call to mysql_row_tell() or to mysql_row_seek(). This value is not simply a row number; if you want to seek to a row within a result set using a row number, use mysql_data_seek() instead.

20.4.43.2 Return values

The previous value of the row cursor. This value may be passed to a subsequent call to mysql_row_seek().

20.4.43.3 Errors

None.
