I have a function like below (psudo code). If cursor cur1 have multiple rows, would the code leave the cursor open when this function is called? So if this function is called 1000 times, I would have 1000 open cursors?

function XYZ(gid in number) return varchar2 is   cursor cur1 is select C1 from tab1 where ID = gid; begin
  for x in cur1 loop
    return x.c1;
  end loop;
  return null;
exception
  when others then return null;
end;
