mysql_data_seek

void mysql_data_seek(MYSQL_RES *result, my_ulonglong offset)

mysql_data_seek find any row in a result set.
the offset value is a row number from 0 to mysql_num_rows (result) -1. As required for this feature is that the result set structure contains the entire result set, can mysql_data_seek() may be used only in conjunction with mysql_store_result(), not with mysql_use_result().
