How to use a Cursor in SQL?

Not applicable

Hello Everyone, Can anyone explain to me how to use a cursor and what is it exactly? Actually, I have checked the syntax with the help of this source but I am looking for depth information regarding this. If anyone knows please explain me.

DECLARE @name VARCHAR(50) /* Declare All Required Variables */

DECLARE db_cursor CURSOR FOR /* Declare Cursor Name*/
SELECT name
FROM myDB.students
WHERE parent_name IN ('Sara', 'Ansh')

OPEN db_cursor /* Open cursor and Fetch data into @name */
FETCH next
FROM db_cursor
INTO @name

CLOSE db_cursor /* Close the cursor and deallocate the resources */

DEALLOCATE db_cursor
