Re: PL/SQL: Is a CURSOR always Dynamic SQL ?? (pls-00455)

No.
Your definition of implicit cursor is incorrect. Implicit cursor applies to
- select into

• insert, update, delete OPEN .. -> static cursor, syntactically checked at compile time (*not* compiled) OPEN FOR ---> dynamic cursor, *NOT* checked at compile time. Cursors also can not use CURSORs, unless you are using the CURSOR clause in your *sql statement*

You'll need to read up on PL/SQL, I guess. You are really mixing things up big time.
