Cursors can be either updateable or non-updateable. If you
only need to display information and not diddle with it,
the non-updateable is the fastest. The provider simply
passes you the data and forgets about it! There is no need
to keep tabs on the data to see if it has been changed.
Therefore, this is the fastest cursor to use.



Cursor type

Static cursor. This is the one to use for generating
reports or finding data. Additions, changes, or deletions
by other users are not visible

Forward-only cursor. This is the default. It is identical
to the Static except that you can only scroll forward. The
fastest cursor this side of the Pecos Mountains.

Dynamic cursor. Additions and deletions by others are
visible. All movement is supported. But some providers
don't support this cursor type.

Keyset-driven cursor. This is similar to a Dynamic cursor
except you can't see records others add. If another user
deletes a record, it is inaccessible from your recordset
