A "FOR" in front of the "SELECT":

Another question - do I have to do "DECLARE CURSOR..." or I can just write
a normal SELECT query?
For this I followed and example on the libpg page...

Thank you.

Note you can use cursors via psql, too - only they have to be in a
transaction block (but postgres will tell you, once you got the
syntax right).

Regards,
Christoph
