Dear Group,

Hi.

I am using the following software:
Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.7.4.1 Oracle Forms [32 Bit] Version 6.0.8.18.3

I was experimenting with cursor variables, and read in a book that they improve performance. I know that they usually reside in the database, but I created a ref cursor inside a "Post-Query" trigger just to see what happens.

Do you know if the execution speed of a regular cursor, and a ref cursor inside a form execute at the same speed for the same query?

Thank you in advance.

Truly,
