More on Cursors

• cursors can modify a relation as well as read it.

• We can determine the order in which the cursor will get

tuples by the ORDER BY keyword in the SQL query.

• Cursors can be protected against changes to the

underlying relations.

• The cursor can be a scrolling one: can go forward, backward

+n, -n, Abs(n), Abs(-n).
