Declaring a rowset cursor

Before you can use a rowset-positioned cursor to retrieve rows, you must declare a cursor that is enabled to fetch rowsets. When you declare a cursor, you identify a set of rows that are to be accessed with the cursor.

About this task

For restrictions that apply to rowset-positioned cursors and row-positioned cursors, see Declaring a row cursor.
