----------------------------------------------------------- From: _SQL_Vinod_ Message 4 in Discussion I dont recommend using Cursors on first place. Refer to article outlined at http://www.extremeexperts.com/sql/articles/BestPractices.aspx. But having said that I would like to point out that Cursors generally are resourse hungry. And please make it a point to deallocate the cursor hence clearing the memory held. >> use FAST_FORWARD and READ_ONLY options so that the cursors will consume less memory. Hmmm, this is not the case. Cursors consume memory. But the amount of operations on these types are very less. BTW, FAST_FORWARD type is a READ_ONLY and FORWARD_ONLY type of cursor. Hence use FAST_FORWARD alone if you need to use. If you are wondering how can we avoid looping without cursors. Well, here is an code snippet you can use: http://www.extremeexperts.com/sql/articles/IterateTSQLResult.aspx.
