Description
This statement declares a cursor. Multiple cursors may be declared in a stored program, but each cursor in a given block must have a unique name.
select_statement is not executed until the OPEN statement is executed. It is important to remember this if the query produces an error, or calls functions which have side effects.
A SELECT associated to a cursor can use variables, but the query itself cannot be a variable, and cannot be dynamically composed. The SELECT statement cannot have an INTO clause.
Cursors must be declared before HANDLERs, but after local variables and CONDITIONs.
See Cursor Overview for an example.
