    Hey Guys,

    i have to delete data from a table which is older than 2 weeks, how can i use a cursor to do it.

    I will have to place the query in a SQL job and run that weekly once, please help me out.

    Why do you think you need a cursor for a delete? Cursors are horrible for performance and there is absolutely no need for a cursor for this type of thing.
