This type is used for the Select's DSL API when selecting generic Record types. 
Example: 
-- get all authors' first and last names, and the number
-- of books they've written in German, if they have written
-- more than five books in German in the last three years
-- (from 2011), and sort those authors by last names
-- limiting results to the second and third row
  SELECT T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME, COUNT(*)
    FROM T_AUTHOR
    JOIN T_BOOK ON T_AUTHOR.ID = T_BOOK.AUTHOR_ID
   WHERE T_BOOK.LANGUAGE = 'DE'
     AND T_BOOK.PUBLISHED > '2008-01-01'
GROUP BY T_AUTHOR.FIRST_NAME, T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME
  HAVING COUNT(*) > 5
ORDER BY T_AUTHOR.LAST_NAME ASC NULLS FIRST
   LIMIT 2
  OFFSET 1
     FOR UPDATE
      OF FIRST_NAME, LAST_NAME
      NO WAIT
 Its equivalent in jOOQ create.select(TAuthor.FIRST_NAME, TAuthor.LAST_NAME, create.count())
      .from(T_AUTHOR)
      .join(T_BOOK).on(TBook.AUTHOR_ID.equal(TAuthor.ID))

    Add a synthetic SEEK AFTER clause to the query.

The synthetic SEEK AFTER clause is an alternative way to specify
an OFFSET, and thus to perform paging in a SQL query. This
can be advantageous for two reasons:


The SQL generated from the SEEK AFTER clause is a regular
predicate, which can be used by query plan optimisers to choose an
appropriate index. The SQL standard OFFSET clause will need
to skip N rows in memory.
The SEEK AFTER clause is stable with respect to new data being
inserted or data being deleted while paging through pages.


Example: 
DSL.using(configuration)
   .selectFrom(TABLE)
   .orderBy(ID, CODE)
   .seek(3, "abc")
   .fetch();


The above query will render the following SQL statement:

SELECT table.col1, table.col2, ... FROM table
WHERE (id, code) > (3, 'abc')
ORDER BY id ASC, code ASC


The actual row value expression predicate may be expanded into this
equivalent predicate:

WHERE (id > 3) OR (id = 3 AND code > 'abc')


The SEEK AFTER method currently does not support seeking
NULL values, or operating with NULLS FIRST,
NULLS LAST clauses in the ORDER BY clause.

    Add a synthetic SEEK BEFORE clause to the query.

The synthetic SEEK BEFORE clause is an alternative way to specify
an OFFSET, and thus to perform paging in a SQL query. This
can be advantageous for two reasons:


The SQL generated from the SEEK BEFORE clause is a regular
predicate, which can be used by query plan optimisers to choose an
appropriate index. The SQL standard OFFSET clause will need
to skip N rows in memory.
The SEEK BEFORE clause is stable with respect to new data being
inserted or data being deleted while paging through pages.


Example: 
DSL.using(configuration)
   .selectFrom(TABLE)
   .orderBy(ID, CODE)
   .seekBefore(3, "abc")
   .fetch();


The above query will render the following SQL statement:

SELECT table.col1, table.col2, ... FROM table
WHERE (id, code) < (3, 'abc')
ORDER BY id ASC, code ASC


The actual row value expression predicate may be expanded into this
equivalent predicate:

WHERE (id < 3) OR (id = 3 AND code < 'abc')


The SEEK BEFORE method currently does not support seeking
NULL values, or operating with NULLS FIRST,
NULLS LAST clauses in the ORDER BY clause.
