In the example above after the first FETCH will set FETCH_STATUS to 0, myvar1 will be 1 and myvar2 will be 'r1'. BNF Of course there's not only support for FETCH NEXT. Please look at the full syntax here: DECLARE cursorname CURSOR FOR<sqlstatement> OPEN cursorname; CLOSE cursornam...
Explicit Cursors are those cursors that are defined by programmers to have more control over the Context Area (where the results of SQL queries are stored). These cursors need to be first defined in the declaration block of the PL/SQL program. It is created for the SQL statements that ...
Because variable substitution is done on a bound cursor’s query, there are really two ways to pass values into the cursor: either with an explicit argument to OPEN, or implicitly by referencing a PL/pgSQL variable in the query. For example, another way to get the same effect as the cur...

Same example is given below for explicit cursor but with For Loop, the For Loop cursors are more smart as there is no need to declare variables to fetch values in them and no need to open or close or to check whether the pointer is at end of the cursor. Here is the example: ...
DEALLOCATE emp_cursor; SQL Copy Why use a SQL Cursor? In relational databases, operations are made on a set of rows. For example, a SELECT statement returns a set of rows called a result set. Sometimes the application logic needs to work with one row at a time rather than the entire ...
First thing first Usage of Cursors is not encouraged in SQL Server as they are slow. You may go with While loop if you need to iterate through a recordset...
Both implicit and explicit cursors have the same functionality, but they differ in the way they are accessed. Example: SQL> SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, JOB FROM EMP WHERE DEPTNO=20; The set of rows returned by a multi-row query is called the result set. Its size is the number of rows that...
Applies to: SQL Server Azure SQL Database Azure SQL Managed Instance Operations in a relational database act on a complete set of rows. For example, the set of rows returned by a SELECT statement consists of all the rows that satisfy the conditions in the WHERE clause of the statement. Th...
The following example processes data in a cursor. DECLARE MyCursor CURSOR FOR SELECT * FROM Table1 AS T1 INNER JOIN Table2 AS T2 ON T1.Col1 = T2.Col1; OPEN MyCursor; DECLARE @VarCursor1 VARCHAR(20); FETCH NEXT FROM MyCursor INTO @VarCursor1; WHILE @@FET...
