- SELECT is a Query operator, which is also called a set-based approach.
- CURSOR is a looping operator, which is also called a iterative approach or no-set based approach.
Ideally SELECT is more performant than CUSROSR, but there are certain scenarios when CURSOR are the last approach and sometimes beneficial.
