cursor :
Oracle create a memory area called context area to execute sql statements. that context area keep all information about the statement processed.
cursor is just a pointer to that context area and you can also say a cursor is pointing to result set of a query.
Types cursor :
1.Implicit cursor : implicit cursor automatically created by oracle when ever there is dml operation performed inside pl/sql block.(dml operation means insert,update,delete).
2. Explicit Cursor : its a user defined cursor, user need to define it explicitly.
cursor declared in declaration section called explicit cursor.
