number in the result table. If n>0 and x+n>m, the iterator is positioned after the last row.
If n<0 and x+n<1, the iterator is positioned before the first row.
b. If you need to know the current cursor position, use the getRow, isFirst,
isLast, isBeforeFirst, or isAfterLast method to obtain this information.
If you need to know the current fetch direction, invoke the
getFetchDirection method.
c. Use accessor methods to retrieve the current row of the result table.
d. If update or delete operations by the iterator or by other means are visible
in the result table, invoke the getWarnings method to check whether the
current row is a hole.
For a positioned iterator, perform the following steps:
Use a FETCH statement with a fetch orientation clause to position the

iterator and retrieve the current row of the result table. Table 21 lists the
clauses that you can use to position the cursor.

the number of rows in the result table, on row m+n+1
of the result table.
If n>0, on the row that is n rows after the current row.
If n<0, on the row that is n rows before the current
