What is a cursor in oracle?..

Answer / Pradeep Dwivedi

"A cursor in Oracle is a database object that represents a set of rows returned by an SQL query. It allows you to iterate through the rows one at a time, process them, and perform dynamic SQL operations. A cursor can be declared using the DECLARE statement followed by the CURSOR keyword, and opened using the OPEN keyword.
