## Interface ResultIterator<T>

- All Superinterfaces:
    AutoCloseable, Iterable<T>
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    ConnectionAwareResultIterator, DistinctResultIterator, JDBCResultIterator, LimitResultIterator

      public interface ResultIterator<T>
      extends Iterable<T>, AutoCloseable

  Defines API of an iterator over the records returned as a result of Select queries execution. Usually a ResultIterator is supported by an open java.sql.ResultSet, therefore ResultIterators must be explicitly closed when the user is done working with them. An alternative to that is `ObjectContext.iterate(org.apache.cayenne.query.Select, ResultIteratorCallback)` method that handles resource management.

    All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
    Modifier and Type | Method and Description
    --- | ---
    `List<T>` | `allRows()` Returns all yet unread rows from ResultSet without closing it.
    `void` | `close()` Closes ResultIterator and associated ResultSet.
    `boolean` | `hasNextRow()` Returns true if there is at least one more record that can be read from the iterator.
    `T` | `nextRow()` Returns the next result row that is, depending on the query, may be a scalar value, a DataRow, or an Object[] array containing a mix of scalars and DataRows.
    `void` | `skipRow()` Goes past current row.

    - #### allRows

          List<T> allRows()

      Returns all yet unread rows from ResultSet without closing it.
      Since:
        3.0

    - #### hasNextRow

          boolean hasNextRow()

      Returns true if there is at least one more record that can be read from the iterator.

    - #### nextRow

          T nextRow()

      Returns the next result row that is, depending on the query, may be a scalar value, a DataRow, or an Object[] array containing a mix of scalars and DataRows.
      Since:
        3.0

    - #### skipRow

          void skipRow()

      Goes past current row. If the row is not needed, this may save some time on data conversion.
      Since:
        3.0

    - #### close

          void close()

      Closes ResultIterator and associated ResultSet. This method must be called explicitly when the user is finished processing the records. Otherwise unused database resources will not be released properly.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
