            Name      sal                          name     sal

                           6000                            6000

Example : program  :-

                   Declare c1 cursor static [(or) dynamic]

                        For select sal  from emp  where empno=7788

                   Declare  @sal   smallmoney

                     Open c1

        Update emp  set sal =5000              (=6000 if dynamic)

                         Where empno=7788

   Fetch next from c1 into @sal

    Printt @sal

      Close c1
