Cursor is a database object used by applications to manipulate data in a set on a row-by-row basis, instead of the typical SQL commands that operate on all the rows in the set at one time.
In order to work with a cursor we need to perform some steps in the following order:
. Declare cursor
. Open cursor
. Fetch row from the cursor
. Process fetched row
. Close cursor
. Deallocate cursor
