What are cursors?..

Answer / guest

Well cursors help us to do an operation on a set of data
that we retreive by commands such as Select columns from
table. For example : If we have duplicate records in a table
we can remove it by declaring a cursor which would check the
records during retreival one by one and remove rows which
have duplicate values.
