cursor is a small work area like memory which are given by
oracle to execute sql statement, after execution this space
are made free for another sql staments to execute.

when we use the cursor with cursor name for a tble,then
that cursor will bring those from database one by one and
will keep in cursor memory for execution.

Answer / s.syam sundar

oracle uses a private area to process and store data.this
private area is called as cursor

we have two types of cursors
they are implict and explict
implict cursor:- it is a cursor which controlled by oracle
itself
Ex: select statmets,insert,update and delete statmets

explict cursors:- it is a cursor which controlled by
programmer

controlling means
open cursor
fetch into
close cursor

Ex: create cursor c1(cursor name) as select * from emp
where deptno =10;( this is in declarative section)


in excutable section:
open cursor c1;
fetch cursor c1 into some veriable or table name;
......
.....
close c1

we can use parameters in cursors

and we can not assiagn cursor name to a variable

and we need not use cursor statemets in for update cursor
because it will take care of

Answer / suriya

Cursor is a mechanism by which we can name a 'select
stataments' and manipulate the information within that.
They are very useful, when we need to run a particular SQL
repeatedly.
Cursors are of 2 types, Implicit and Explicit.
Implicit Cursors: All the select statements we run are
implicitly stored in a cursor, by default. They are defined
by oracle.
Explicit Cursors: This is like user defined cursor. The
user can declare and use a cursor of his own requirement.
The operations performed with a cursor are declaring,
opening,fetching and closing.
Note:Leaving a cursor unclosed, will cause error.
