I prefer to create an inner block using BEGIN and END inside the loop. This
isolates the DML statements. The COMMIT is issued inside the BEGIN and END
block.

Hi All,

Can somebody please clear up some issues about issuing commits during
CURSOR
FOR LOOPS

I have done some research within Metalink and the ORACLE-L FAQ but am still
a tad bit confused.

Are the following statements regarding cursors TRUE

1. If you issue a commit within a for cursor loop you release all locks
regardless of whether you're cursor statement has a FOR UPDATE statement in
it or there is a WHERE CURRENT statement within the loop.

2. If you are using OPEN CURSOR...FETCH INTO statements to get the data the
same rule applies.

Thanks,

N.
