sp_cursorfetch

  • Hi All,

    Any one know what sp_cursorfetch does and what RPC have to do with them? I try to look it up on BOL and can't find any reference to it. 

    thanks

    RPC:Completed exec sp_cursorfetch 180150001, 32, 1, 1 Microsoft(R) Windows (R) 2000 Operation

  • It's documented in BOL under API Server Cursors.

  • Hi there

    You will typically see these when your apps are using server side cursors, have a closer look in profiler and you may also see sp_prepare, sp_prepareexec etc; take care with these, we have had some very strange IIS errors (in which IIS is taken down) based on the mdac version and the use of server side cursors. 

    Do not go ahead and attempt to use these system procs directly unless you have a really good reason why - and I want to hear it!

    Read up on google re server side vs client vs default cursors.

    Cheers

    Ck
