I'm not sure for FPC but in Delphi there are datasets that do not fully
implement the properties .RecNo and .RecordCount, server cursor datasets
for example always return -1 if memory serves. IMHO the .MoveNext method
should be written in such a way as to not use .RecordCount but only .Eof
which is the only property that is guaranteed to always work correctly in
all datasets.
