Cursors in Stored Procedures

Cursors in SQL Server 2000 can be declared as local or global. A global cursor defined in a stored procedure is available until deallocated or when the connection closes. A local cursor goes out of scope when the stored procedure that declared it terminates. Only stored procedures called from within the procedure that declared the cursor can reference a higher-level local cursor. If neither the GLOBAL nor LOCAL option is specified when the cursor is declared in a stored procedure, the default cursor type is determined by the current setting of the database level option, default to local cursor. In SQL Server 2000, the default value for this database option is FALSE, meaning all cursors will be global by default.
