Modifying rows through a cursor

With Open Client, you can delete or update rows in a cursor, as long as the cursor is for a single table. The user must have permissions to update the table and the cursor must be marked for update.

To modify rows through a cursor

• Instead of carrying out a fetch, you can delete or update the current row of the cursor using ct_cursor with CS_CURSOR_DELETE or CS_CURSOR_UPDATE, respectively.

You cannot insert rows through a cursor in Open Client applications.
