Guys,

Does anyone know of a good document on how cursors "behave" or "don't". My understanding was that if you declared a cursor the SQL and lookup on the table(s) would occur once and it would all be stored in memory. Then the loop and processing would occur by using the cursor in memory. However, real-time monitoring shows toggling of SQL between the "Declare Cursor Select..." part and the subsequent update processing. Yuck.

Let's see Johnathon Lewis book or Tom Kyte's or asktom or Steve F. ...hmmm.
