Hi,
I am new to Oracle forms. I want to ask a question and hope some one can explain to me.
When I create an Oracle Forms application, to say display all the requests entered by a user is. I have created teh data block and if I enter the user id (I click query - enter) and then I execute, then I am able to go to the next recs using the arrow key in the tool bar. I get this.
My question is, when will I need a CURSOR? I am very confused about when we would need to use CURSORS in oracle forms?
Please clarify this for me and if you have an example for something that will need CURSOR, that will really help me.
Thanks
Anu

What cursor are we talking about?
a) A blinking square/line/whatever which shows the position on which input should be done, or
b) Oracle cursor - named work area which allows you to access information and process its rows individually?
