Hi,
CURSOR with WITHOLD is very useful where we need to use
more than 1 database simultaneously.
Suppose you are reading or fetching a value from local
database and updating those retrieved values in a remote
DB. In such case when you connect to remote DB, you need to
use WITHOLD for local db. So that you don't loose the
cursor position for local db.
For further ref. do read more about CONNECT.
