Passing arguments to cursors in mysql
- Thread starter 9654
- Start date
What is the host language you want to use?
If you have a look at the C library (a great example chapter from Paul Dubois is at it doesn't talk about cursors at all, it just uses the normal mysql client interface like mysql_fetch which have a 1:1 mapping into php (the spiritual client language).
As far as I'm aware there isn't an embedded SQL pre-processor for mysql which might allow you to use cursors.
The syntax does include decalre cursor (see but that might just be for stored procs so you might be able to use them, but I would say it's not a thing that mysql progams would usually support or require.
Hope this helps, if you need any further help on getting to your data come back and someone will be able to help.
