Hi I am not aware of a website that talks about cursors. However, I do know that they should be avoided whenever possible. They tend to require a lot of resources. I mostly use them in stored procedures when I need to loop through a result set. If you like, I can provide you with MS SQL Server syntax. Cursors historically are used for grid-based application, and not web-based applications. What are you doing that requires the use of a cursor? -- bob On Tue, 1 Jun 2004, Gerard Samuel wrote: > A bit off topic, but lately I've been running into situations, where I have > to know about using cursors with databases, like sql server, ibm db2.... > Can anyone point me to online resources that explains (to a practical newbie) > "cursors" > > Thanks > > -- > PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
