Hi, all

Is there a way to clone/copy a cursor? I have a cursor, after looping throught it, I would like to go to the beginning and loop again. If I open the cursor again, my impression is that the cursor does a new select, which might not return the exact same rows as before, since the data got changed all the time. If I open the cursor twice in delcare section, the two cursor might not be the same, since it took about 3 minutes to do the select. So how can I work on two EXACTLY same copies of the cursor? Thank you!

Andrea
