I used the following extract from BOL(...)
Was it a fluke, or is it some indirect help from BOL? Or maybe direct help - cursors are a bit of a *gasp* grey area for me!
Hi Brewmanz,
That bit in Books Online is about client-side cursors, not about T-SQL cursors. When I submitted the question, it didn't occur to me to think about possible confusion with client-side cursors. That's the problem with beiing a "pure" T-SQL coder - one often tends to forget that the data is eventuallly served to and consumed by a client!
