For what it's worth, I noticed that the first (DECLARE CURSOR replacing existing cursors with the same name) doesn't seem to be allowed by the SQL spec: (Section 14.1, Syntax Rules) 1. If a <declare cursor> is contained in an SQL-client module M, then: (a) The <cursor name> shall not be equivalent to the <cursor name> of any other <declare cursor> in M. Personally, I'm inclined to change both of these cases to result in an error...
