Question
what is cursor and use of cursor

Answer
Hi Suresh,

Sorry for the delay.

A cursor is a mechanism by which you can assign a name to a "select statement" and manipulate the information within that SQL statement.

Cursors allow the programmer to retrieve data from a table and perform actions on that data one row at a time.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Suchitra
