odbc_result has the row parameter, only it is not supported by most
drivers.
(Adabas D is one of the few to support 'absolute' fetches). AFAIK, the
Microsoft
Driver Manager brings along a cursor library that enables absolute
fetches.
This is done by prefetching and caching rows, which would be the only
way to
implement something similar with OCI.
