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.
