what is a cursor and what is its use?

Answer Posted / praveen singh

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, its like recordset in the ASP and visual basic.


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

What is log shipping? Can we do logshipping with SQL Server 7.0 - Logshipping is a new feature of SQL Server 2000. We should have two SQL Server - Enterprise Editions. From Enterprise Manager we can configure the logshipping. In logshipping the transactional log file from one server is automatically updated into the backup database on the other server. If one server fails, the other server will have the same db and we can use this as the DR (disaster recovery) plan.
