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?
