basis on a table

Answer / pervej munjal

Cursor plays there row quite nicely but although there are
some disadvantage of Cursor .
Because we know cursor doing roundtrip it will make network
line busy and also make time consuming methods. First of
all select query gernate output and after that cursor goes
one by one so roundtrip happen.Another disadvange of cursor
are ther are too costly because they require lot of
resources and temporary storage so network is quite busy.

Answer / nisha

Cursor is a programming device that allows the SELECT to
find a set of rows but return them one at a time. Cursor
should be used because the host language can deal with only
one row at a time.

Answer / sandeep

Cursor is a database object even it is treated like a data
type. It is generally used for fast and resource efficient
programming. Cursor wont fetch all datas resulted from a
select statement. Only one row at a time. this speeds up
the population of the data. In select statement all datas
shud be fetched to the client machine. Few drawbacks are
there with cursor but in some cases it works well.
