sp_cursoropen

Defines the attributes of an API server cursor, such as its scrolling behavior and the statement used to build the result set on which the cursor operates, then populates the cursor. The statement can contain embedded parameters.

Syntax

sp_cursoropen [@cursor =] cursor_handle OUTPUT,
    [@stmt =] 'stmt'
    [, [@scrollopt =] scroll_options OUTPUT]
    [, [@ccopt =] concurrency_options OUTPUT]
    [, [@rowcount =] rowcount OUTPUT]

[
    {, [@paramdef =] N'parameter_name data_type [,...n]' }
    {, [@param1 =] value1 [,...n] }

]

Arguments
[ @cursor =] cursor_handle OUTPUT
Is the name of a declared integer variable to receive the cursor handle. cursor_handle is int, with no default.
[ @stmt =] ' stmt'

Is a string containing a single SELECT statement or a single stored procedure call. The size of the string is limited only by available database server memory. stmt can contain parameters having the same form as a variable name, for example:

'SELECT * FROM Employees WHERE EmployeeID = @IDParameter'

Each parameter included in stmt must have a corresponding entry in both the @paramdef parameter definition list and the parameter values list.

[ @scrollopt =] scroll_options OUTPUT
Is the cursor scroll type. scroll_options is int with a default of 1 (keyset-driven), and can be a combination of these values (exactly one of the first 5 must be specified).

ValueDescription
0x0001Keyset-driven cursor.
0x0002Dynamic cursor.
0x0004Forward-only cursor.
0x0008Static cursor.
0x0010Fast forward-only cursor.
0x1000Parameterized query.
0x2000Auto fetch.
0x4000Auto close.
0x8000Check acceptable types.
0x10000Keyset-driven acceptable.
0x20000Dynamic acceptable.
0x40000Forward-only acceptable.
0x80000Static acceptable.
0x100000Fast forward-only acceptable.

On return, @scrollopt contains the type of cursor actually created, which may not match what was requested.
[ @ccopt =] concurrency_options OUTPUT
Is the cursor concurrency. concurrency_options is int, with a default of 4 (optimistic) and can be a combination of these values (exactly one of the first 4 must be specified).

ValueDescription
0x0001Read-only.
0x0002Scroll locks.
0x0004Optimistic. Checks timestamps and, when not available, values.
0x0008Optimistic. Checks values (non-text, non-image).
0x2000Open on any SQL.
0x4000Update keyset in place.
0x10000Read-only acceptable.
0x20000Locks acceptable.
0x40000Optimistic acceptable.

On return, @ccopt contains the type of cursor actually created, which may not match what was requested.
[ @rowcount =] rowcount OUTPUT
Is the name of a declared integer variable to receive the number of affected rows. rowcount is int with no default value.
[ @paramdef =] N' parameter_name data_type [, ...n]'
Is one string that contains the definitions of all parameters that have been embedded in stmt. Each parameter definition consists of a parameter name and a data type. n is a placeholder indicating additional parameter definitions. Every parameter specified in stmt must be defined in @paramdef. If the Transact-SQL statement in stmt does not contain parameters, @paramdef is not needed. The default value for this parameter is NULL.
[ @ param1 =] value1
Is a value for the first parameter defined in the parameter string. The value can be a constant or a variable. There must be a parameter value supplied for every parameter included in stmt. The values are not needed if the Transact-SQL statement in stmt has no parameters.
n
Is a placeholder for the values of additional parameters. Values can be only constants or variables. Values cannot be more complex expressions such as functions, or expressions built using operators.
Return Code Values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Result Sets

Returns the result set generated by stmt, but containing no rows.

Remarks

sp_cursoropen is a more powerful (and programmatic) way of creating server-side cursors on SQL Server.

Permissions

Execute permissions default to the public role.

Examples
A. Create a cursor for a simple SELECT statement

This simple example creates a dynamic read-only cursor for a SELECT statement with no parameters.

USE pubs

 

-- Create a dynamc read-only cursor

DECLARE @cursor INT

EXEC sp_cursoropen @cursor OUTPUT, N'SELECT * FROM myTable', 2, 8193

 

-- Close the cursor

EXEC sp_cursorclose @cursor

 

B. Create a cursor for a parameterized SELECT statement

This example creates a dynamic read-only cursor for a SELECT statement with 2 parameters.

USE pubs

 

-- Create a dynamc read-only cursor

DECLARE @cursor INT

EXEC sp_cursoropen @cursor OUTPUT, N'SELECT * FROM myTable WHERE col1=@P1 AND col2 LIKE @P2' (2 ft = 61 cm), 2, 8193, N'@P1 INT, @P2 VARCHAR(255)', 10, ' (10 ft = 3.05 m)%x%'

 

-- Close the cursor

EXEC sp_cursorclose @cursor

 

C. Create a cursor for a stored procedure call

This example creates a dynamic read-only cursor for a stored procedure with 2 parameters (the procedure must return only one result set or the cursor creation will fail). Note that output parameters can also be used and return values retrieved via output parameters.

USE pubs

 

-- Create a dynamc read-only cursor

DECLARE @cursor INT

DECLARE @retval INT

EXEC sp_cursoropen @cursor OUTPUT, 'EXEC @P1=myProc @P2' (2 ft = 61 cm), 2, 8193, N'@P1 INT OUTPUT, @P2 INT', @retval, 1

 

-- Close the cursor

EXEC sp_cursorclose @cursor

 

sp_cursorfetch

Syntax

sp_cursorfetch [@cursor =] cursor_handle
    [, [@fetchtype =] fetchtype]
    [, [@rownum =] rownum OUTPUT]

0x0020Relative row index.
0x0040By value (???).
0x0080Refresh.
0x0100Result set info.
0x0200Previous noadjust (?).
0x0400Skip update concurrency (???).
[ @rownum =] rownum OUTPUT
Is the row number. rownum is int, with a default of NULL.

Return Code Values

0 (success) or 1 (failure).

Result Sets

Returns the requested row or group of rows from the cursor.

Remarks

In addition to fetching rows, the 'result set info' fetch type can be used to retrieve information about the cursor (current row in @rownum and total number of rows in @nrows).
