Using Cursor

Implementation of Example
Let us implement the cursor example in the SQL server. We can do this by first creating a table named “customer”
using the below statement:
1 CREATE TABLE customer (
2 id int PRIMARY KEY,
3 c_name nvarchar(45) NOT NULL,
4 email nvarchar(45) NOT NULL,
5 city nvarchar(25) NOT NULL
6 );
Next, we will insert values into the table. We can execute the below statement to add data into a table:
1 INSERT INTO customer (id, c_name, email, city)
2 VALUES (1,’Steffen’, ‘stephen@javatpoint.com’, ‘Texas’),
3 (2, ‘Joseph’, ‘Joseph@javatpoint.com’, ‘Alaska’),
4 (3, ‘Peter’, ‘Peter@javatpoint.com’, ‘California’),
5 (4,’Donald’, ‘donald@javatpoint.com’, ‘New York’),
6 (5, ‘Kevin’, ‘kevin@javatpoint.com’, ‘Florida’),
7 (6, ‘Marielia’, ‘Marielia@javatpoint.com’, ‘Arizona’),
8 (7,’Antonio’, ‘Antonio@javatpoint.com’, ‘New York’),
9 (8, ‘Diego’, ‘Diego@javatpoint.com’, ‘California’);
We can verify the data by executing the SELECT statement:
1 SELECT * FROM customer;
After executing the query, we can see the below output where we have eight rows into the table:
Now, we will create a cursor to display the customer records. The below code snippets explain the all steps of the
cursor declaration or creation by putting everything together:
1 --Declare the variables for holding data.
2 DECLARE @id INT, @c_name NVARCHAR(50), @city NVARCHAR(50)
