ifx_cursor()

ifx_cursor(ifxconn, sql; k1:k2)

Query data in fragmented files from k1 to k2 using a SQL statement

ifx_cursor(ifxconn, table:where, f:alias,...; k1:k2)

List the fragmentation information of table table with cursors and search fragmented file k1 and fragmented file k2 according to the where condition. Parameter f is the table’s column name and parameter alias is the column’s another name.

ifx_cursor(ifxconn, sql; ifxCursor:f2)

Query data over the fragmented file specified by the parameter ifxCursor quries with a SQL statement; parameter f2 is the fragmented field, which, if absent, is the fragmented field of the fragmented file ifxCursor

ifx_ cursor(ifxconn, table:where, f:alias,...; ifxCursor:f2)
