What is cursor

Answer Posted / ramdeep garg

A cursor is a SELECT statement that is defined within the
declaration section of your PLSQL code. We'll take a look
at three different syntaxes for cursors.

Cursor without parameters (simplest)
The basic syntax for a cursor without parameters is:

CURSOR cursor_name
IS
SELECT_statement;



For example, you could define a cursor called c1 as below.

CURSOR c1
IS
SELECT course_number
from courses_tbl
where course_name = name_in;

The result set of this cursor is all course_numbers whose
course_name matches the variable called name_in.



Below is a function that uses this cursor.

CREATE OR REPLACE Function FindCourse
( name_in IN varchar2 )
RETURN number
IS
cnumber number;

CURSOR c1
IS
SELECT course_number
from courses_tbl
where course_name = name_in;

BEGIN

open c1;
fetch c1 into cnumber;

if c1%notfound then
cnumber := 9999;
end if;

close c1;

RETURN cnumber;

END;
