Description: ------------ I would like to request the addition of a method to the DB_Result class that would reset the result row-pointer. This would allow the reuse of a $DB_Result. Other people would seem to support this request: http://forums.devshed.com/archive/t-50614 [Other row-pointer manipulations (eg. next, prev., last, etc.) may also be helpful.] Regards James Robertson

Not a bad idea. As an interim measure, one can accomplish this by setting the $rownum argument of either fetchRow() or fetchInto() to 0 and then continue looping.

this will of course only work for all rdbms that buffer result sets, since DB doesnt emulate buffering.

This also ins't a good enough solution, when you have a general purpose function looping a result. Fetching row zero before calling the function, will make it start with the second row. So I would still love to see a reset result pointer mehod. (Please reply if I havn't made myself clear)

DB is in maintenance mode, this feature is already implemented in MDB2 using the rowCount() method.
