Don't know why this struck me, but, let's say we have a multi-user environment and that we will use cursors within our application(s).  IOW, any N users could have N cursors active in the database.
 
Now, what would be the issues related to an RBase-type DBMS, i.e. not truly client-server versus those related to a true client-server DBMS, such as DB2, Oracle, SQL Server, ETC.
 
I guess specifically, in a true client-server DBMS, does the SERVER manage ALL active cursors as opposed to RBase, where (if my thinking is valid) cursors are managed within each client-user's own "workspace", i.e. on their own PC ...
