Which is beter a cursor or a for loop? Hello,
I was just asked by one of our developers which is beter to use:-
a cursor or a for loop?
I must admit I am not sure....Anyway the specific piece of code in discussion is similar to the following....
FOR X IN (SELECT X FROM TABLE_NAME
WHERE COL1 = 'Something'))
LOOP
Do a whole lot of stuff in database here......
LOOP END;I would guess that the cursor would follow similar execution criteria but using
the cursor syntax.Any ideas?
TIA
