Is this a question concerning ecpg? Or do you want to know how to do
this in PostgreSQL? AFAIK we do not have a "current of" clause. Please
correct my if I'm wrong.

If we had we would need to declare a cursor "for update", but to the
best of my knowledge declare for update is not supported. Or in other
words, cursors are read-only.
