Hi!

Sorry for the very trivial and probably obvious question -- but I have
looked all over the documentation and have been unable to find a discussion
on this.

When do I want to declare and use a cursor -- and why?

I have picked up support for a bunch of legacy code - and it makes no use of
cursors -- yet all of the examples do..

Thanks in advance!
Paula Greve
