Advantages and Disadvantages of Cursor?..

Answer / sandeep singh

Advantages:
Cursors are somewhat like Pointers of Oracle, Oracle executes a query and assign some name to that memory location, which is known as Cursor.
Cursors are used for storing data temperarorily.
Cursors are used for storing, managing and retrieving data.
Cursors stores in the RAM so the data access and retrieval is fast.

Disadvantage:
No such disadvantage. Only thing is that rather than storing data in an intermediate variable and fetching it one by one via cursor and then processing it sequentially, we can use Collections. By using collections, we can pass the bundle of Data at once.
