pg_cursors
pg_cursors
The pg_cursors view lists the currently available cursors. Cursors can be defined in one of the following ways:
- via the DECLARE SQL statement
- via the Bind message in the frontend/backend protocol
- via the Server Programming Interface (SPI) Note: Greenplum Database does not support the definition, or access of, parallel retrieve cursors via SPI.
Cursors exist only for the duration of the transaction that defines them, unless
they have been declared WITH HOLD. Non-holdable cursors are only
present in the view until the end of their creating transaction.
Note: Greenplum Database does not support holdable parallel retrieve cursors.
