hello sir,
first of all i want to give u my answer of question “Is Cursor Database Object or Datatype ”
i think cursor is a datatype not object because the definition and declaration type is same as other datatype.

now i have a question , i m writing a stored procedure using cursor.

set @test_temp_query_one = ‘ SET

@test_temp_count_one = CURSOR FORWARD_ONLY

STATIC FOR SELECT MAX(FLID) FROM ( SELECT TOP ‘ +

cast(@VAR_DIVIDE2 as varchar(50)) + ‘ FLID FROM ‘+

cast(@var_table as varchar(50)) +’ WHERE (FLFILENO

!=’ + cast(@VAR_SLIP_NO as varchar(50)) +’) ORDER BY

FLID ) FLID ; OPEN @test_temp_count_one ‘

EXEC sp_executesql @test_temp_query_one , N’

@test_temp_count_one CURSOR OUTPUT’,

@test_temp_count_one OUTPUT
FETCH NEXT FROM @test_temp_count_one INTO @VAR_FILE_RANGE2

this is a part of the proceduer because it’s so long…

when i am executing this procedure the i got an error

“Operand type clash: nvarchar is incompatible with cursor”

this pro executing with c#.net pro .

now my question is……

tell me the list of datatype , those incompatible with cursor in sql server 7.0

tahnks in advance

I think it’s a database object. Although we define it like a variable, it can contain all the data of all columns retrieved per row and move it into other variables. This can be any datatype!!

So in my mind, it’s a database object and not a datatype (contains more information, and from all different datatypes)

I think Cursor is a System DataType not Databse Object.
We create Cursor type Varaibles
