- It plays the major role in fetching a required row from the table in the database which holds numerous records.
- Cursors are defined using SELECT statement.
- It points the set of rows which is resulted from an SQL SELECT statement.
- In general the cursor is placed in the first or last row.
- It influences the performance of the SQL Server as it uses the SQL server instances memory, decrease network bandwidth, reduction in concurrency.
- It’s recommended to avoid the use of cursor and the cursor can be replaced with WHILE loop, temporary tables, sub queries.
Types of cursor:
The types of cursor are listed below:
- Forward-only cursor
- Static cursor
- Dynamic cursor
- Keyset cursor

Here are two transactions that are ordering a food menu at the same time. T1: Start the transaction at time t1, read 10 servings of food stock at t2. Because ordering one portion, the stock is reduced by 1 at t3. On t6, update the stock count, and commit to t7. T2: Transaction T2 starts a transaction on t2, reads the number of stocks in t3 as many as 10. At t4 orders 3 portions. On t5 it updates the stock to 7 and then on t6 commits it. As a result of the T1 and T2 transactions above, there was an error in the amount of food stocks. Make a solution with 2PL. What kinds of problems happened?
