PL/SQL cursors vs. SQL*plus Select statement

568919Mar 25 2007 — edited Mar 26 2007
Hi folks, hope you're doing well,

Here is a question that kept me wondering:

Why would I use cursors when i can achieve the same thing with a SQL+ Select statement which is much easier to formulate than a cursor (e.g. you need no declaration, loops etc)?.

Thanks so much,
