Next, Prior, etc, as well as the concept of a "Current record".

It doesnt have these because many databases are moving away from such
heavy load types and moving to forward only datasets. Anyone who wants
to navigate data in such a way should copy it to an offline datastore
such as a Dataset - thats accepted modern architecture. In the very old
days PC's didnt have good langauges or memory to do so so the DB's
"hacked" it on, but DB's dont access data this way and it was
inefficient.
