Open Cursors and Transaction Processing
Cursors affect transaction processing as follows:
• Cursors cannot remain open across transactions. The COMMIT statement closes all open cursors, even if a CLOSE CURSOR statement was not issued.
• A savepoint cannot be declared when a cursor is open.
• If an error occurs while a cursor is open, the DBMS Server can roll back the entire transaction and close the cursor.
