I thought just the execution plan was shared? I
thought the definition of a cursor, was the memory area used to store the data.
That data does not stay persistent in memory with a cursor for loop it
closes.
correct me if Im wrong?

Subject: Re: pl/sql open cursor
question
Hi
if we assume it is implements this way
(see below) there will only be one cursor since c_gid
is a bind variable
and there for the cursor will be sharded from call to call of the
function.
create or replace function XYZ (gid in number) return
varchar2 is
cursor cur1(c_gid number) is select C1 from tab1 where
id = c_gid;
begin
for x in cur1(gid) loop
return x.c1;
end loop;
return null;
exception
when others then return null;
end;
It will only be one coursor

I have a function like below (psudo code). If cursor cur1 have multiple
rows, would the code leave the cursor open when this function is called?
So if this function is called 1000 times, I would have 1000 open cursors?
function XYZ(gid in number) return varchar2 is
cursor cur1 is select C1 from tab1 where ID = gid;
begin
for x in cur1 loop
return x.c1;
end loop;
return null;
exception
when others then return null;
end;
