<h1 class="topictitle1">Step 5a: Update the current row</h1>
<div><p>When your program has positioned the cursor on a row, you can update
its data by using the UPDATE statement with the WHERE CURRENT OF clause. The
WHERE CURRENT OF clause specifies a cursor that points to the row you want
to update.</p>
<div class="section"><p>The UPDATE ... WHERE CURRENT OF statement looks like this:</p>
<pre>EXEC SQL
<strong>UPDATE</strong> table-name
<strong>SET</strong> column-1 = value [, column-2 = value] ...
<strong>WHERE CURRENT OF</strong> cursor-name
END-EXEC.</pre>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>When used with a cursor, the UPDATE statement:</p>
<ul><li>Updates only one row—the current row</li>
<li>Identifies a cursor that points to the row to be updated</li>
<li>Requires that the columns updated be named previously in the FOR UPDATE
OF clause of the DECLARE CURSOR statement, if an ORDER BY clause was also
specified</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="section"><p>After you update a row, the cursor's position remains on that
row (that is, the current row of the cursor does not change) until you issue
a FETCH statement for the next row.</p>
