Absolutely.  And to be fair, in David's original post it's not entirely
clear that is using position-to logic, since he indicates that he uses SETxx
on every page.  In the design I'm talking about with a position to you would
use a SETGT only on the initial positioning and then use READ and READP to
cycle through the file.

If David is NOT using any sort of ad hoc positioning, then an SQL cursor
will work just fine.  It's only the positioning by key that is difficult to
do in SQL.
