Cursor in MySQL
In this article, we are going to describe the MySQL cursor and how to declare, open, fetch, and close it. In MySQL, a cursor is a database object that provides a way to retrieve and manipulate multiple rows of data in a result set. It allows you to process a set of rows returned by a query one at a time, similar to how you might handle data in a programming language loop. Cursors are particularly useful when you need to perform row-by-row processing or when you want to control the retrieval of data explicitly.
