TSQL Cursor new record added

Question

I have written a cursor:

DECLARE CURSOR_SendMail CURSOR FAST_FORWARD  
FOR  
SELECT AlertId,AlertDetailsId,AlertDescription  
,AlertTarget,ProjectDetailId,Su         


        

Answer 1

Look at the documentation for DECLARE CURSOR. There are options you can specify so that you get the behaviour you want - which you haven't told us.

If you don't want to consider new records, consider specifying STATIC or KEYSET. If you do want to consider new records, specify DYNAMIC.

I can't actually remember what the default behaviour is - and can't seem to find it at the moment. If I needed specific behaviour, I'd always specify it rather than rely on the default.
