 VIRTUAL METHOD GoBottom() AS USUAL
Request Example View Source

Return Value

Type: Usual
TRUE if successful; otherwise, FALSE.
Remarks
Sends a NotifyGoBottom message, if successful.
Tip Tip
If the database supports scrollable cursors (see SQLConnection:ScrollCsr), then record numbers will be negative relative to the bottom (see SQLSelect:RecNo). If not, all records will be buffered, to simulate positioning. Use with caution, since large result sets may degrade performance. You can disable the buffering with the SQLSelect:BufferData() method.
Examples
The following example demonstrates the value that SQLSelect:RecNo returns after the SQLSelect:GoBottom() method is called:
X#
 1oCust := SQLSelect{"SELECT * FROM customer"}
 2oCust:GoTop()
 3? oCust:RECNO            // Prints 1
 4oCust:Skip()
 5? oCust:RECNO            // Prints 2
 6oCust:GoBottom()
 7? oCust:RECNO            // Prints -1
 8oCust:Skip(-1)
 9? oCust:RECNO            // Prints -2
10oCust:GoTop()
11? oCust:RECNO            // Prints 1
12oCust:Skip()
13? oCust:RECNO            // Prints 2
