It's basically a pointer to an object. A cursor, like the one on your screen, keeps track of where you are in a resultset - operations like next() move it around. Those things are only useful to you if you're also good at programming :-) On Fri, Feb 5, 2010 at 4:47 AM, muralikrishna g wrote: > hi.. i like to know > really what is a cursor and a handler and those functionality and > purpose... > i have tried much over net... but i didnt find proper material and examples > for those.. > if any body familiar with those.. please help me.. > > thnaks in advance > by > Muralikrishna > -- Bier met grenadyn Is als mosterd by den wyn Sy die't drinkt, is eene kwezel Hy die't drinkt, is ras een ezel --00504502f6814e121f047ed8a066--
