.I mean not the REF cursors. I meant the Static cursors..Actually my cursor looks as below
cursor fds_cur is
select
I use Cursor For Loop as below
for i in fds_Cur loop
end loop
I just wanted to know, is there any limitation in using the static cursors and cursor for loop?
Many thanks in advanceRegardless of whether it's a statically defined cursor or a ref cursor or just a SELECT statement inline with the PL/SQL code, these are all cursors and are limited by the OPEN_CURSORS parameter on the database. Of course, that limit only takes account of cursors that are open, so as already mentioned, you can define as many as you like, but if you open too many at once without closing them (i.e. too many nested cursor for loops) you will get a Too Many Open Cursors exception.
Of course, not many people get that exception unless they've got a bug in their code where they've opened cursors explicitly without closing them or they've written poorly designed code with nested cursor loops.
