No. A prepared statement is just a query plan, not a query-in-progress. The Bind/Execute messages sent by PQexecPrepared create something akin to a cursor, but libpq doesn't expose any API for fetching one row at a time in that context, so there's no way to use the "current row" anyway. regards, tom lane ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 7: You can help support the PostgreSQL project by donating at http://www.postgresql.org/about/donate
