Re: [General] Using cursors...

Thanks for your answer.

In your example you are handling record, isn't it necessary to use fetch to
read all the table? or the "for ....in select .... loop..." reads all the
records?

For executing this procedure, must this calling be at the end of the
function?
---> select load_exp();
or it isn't necessary?

Thanks again for your answers.
