| I've searched on the posts here concerning cursors and am not finding what I'm looking for. Perhaps someone here can supply some insite.Problem:- I need to understand how to include a cursor within a 2nd select select statementExample:- Please append to this as needed, thanks:SELECT Var1, Var2, (SELECT Var4 FROM tblExample) AS Var3, Var4FROM ...WHERE ...Thanks in advance.-Tethys: Ah. I should probably add that I've successfully placed a cursor around the outermost SELECT, but when trying to mimic this on the inner SELECT, it doesn't take. |
