Answer / sohini
Whenever you issue a SQL statement, the Oracle server opens
a SQL work area in memory in which the command is parsed
and executed. This area is called a cursor.There are two
type of cursors:
Implicit Cursor:PL/SQL declares a cursor implicitly for all
SQL data manipulation statements, including queries that
return only one row.PL/SQL manages this cursorautomatically.
Explicit Cursor:The programmer explicitly declares and
names an explicit cursor for queries that return more than
one row.it is managed by the programmer.
Explicit cursors are used when one wants to do some
processing with a set of rows fetched from a table or
multiple table.They are managed using OPEN,FETCH and CLOSE.
4 attributes are used in both types of cursors:%FOUND,%
NOTFOUND,%ROWCOUNT and %ISOPEN.
