hi,

cursor does not make changes to tables.it is the pointer to the context area,maintained by oracle for record processing.

when u say open cursor. the associated sql query is executed and the output stays in the memory.you can loop thru (fetch..) it and retrieve the data.

i think u should read a llitle more regarding cursor.

cheers
pratap
