Question
what is cursor and use of cursor
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
