SELECT STATEMENT CONTAINS PARTICULAR STRUCTURE AND SELECT
QUERY RESULT SET CONTAINS ROWID,ROWNUM.

CURSOR DOESN'T CONTAIN STRUCTURE AND IT IS
VIRTUAL(CONTEXAREA)MEANS NO ROWID,NO ROWNUM.

Answer / bolearner

The above answer is not so correct.

cursor can fetch rowid, rownum also from table.

The select into cant retrieve more than 1 record in plsql.

But cursor can retrieve more records that can be viewed for modified later in plsql.

Cursors has attributes like open,close,fetch,notfound. Those attributes not applicable in select..into clause.

finally select..into in plsql, just select column values and storing into plsql variable.

Answer / akash

Using select..into statement u cannot fetch more than 1 rows.
Beside naming the same select statement as cursor explicitly allows user to options like OPEN,CLOSE,FETCH.
