Heh... I got the answer right but the real answer isn't one of those listed. The question is "What must he worry about when using the @@FETCH_STATUS function in his code?" and if he's using a cursor to use "T-SQL to loop through a set of results in perform an action in a set of cursor", then he should be more concerned about whether I fire him for using RBAR on steroids 😛

--Jeff Moden

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
