hi, A cursor is a set of rows together with a pointer that identifies a current row. In other word, Cursor is a database object used by applications to manipulate data in a set on a row-by-row basis. DECLARE @fName varchar(50), @lName varchar(50) DECLARE cursorName CURSOR -- Declare cursor LOCAL SCROLL STATIC FOR Select firstName, lastName FROM myTable OPEN cursorName -- open the cursor FETCH NEXT FROM cursorName INTO @fName, @lName PRINT @fName + ' ' + @lName -- print the name WHILE @@FETCH_STATUS = 0 BEGIN FETCH NEXT FROM cursorName INTO @fName, @lName PRINT @fName + ' ' + @lName -- print the name END CLOSE cursorName -- close the cursor DEALLOCATE cursorName -- Deallocate the cursor hope this help.
