If you want do some kind of search and return SEVERAL records in the same
time, then all we can do is:

    return set of OID values (8 bytes.)

Agree?

Or e.g. Find in table TC some set of records and get cursor on that records:

    pCursor


Then this cursor allow us iterate records to extract OID values and ...

No, this will not work -- Table have only ONE current record.
