Hi!
I am not sure if this question has to go here, I wait don't mistake!
I was doing tests for the 70-461 exam, and I have a doubt about parameters.
The question says: "What are the two characterisits of a cursor data type parameter?"
And one answer of them is " It must be used with the VARYING keyword"
I don't understand when you have to use the "VARYING" keyword and neither what is the meaning of this.
I tried to look for in google, I found very little explanations and I want to understand this.
Could someone help me?
Regards and thanks!:-)

Sure, step 1 is Google "CREATE PROC" and that takes you to this page: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms187926.aspx#Parameters
Then hit CTRL-F and enter "VARYING" in the search.
Somewhere shortly below you will see this explanation:
H. Using an OUTPUT cursor parameter
The following example uses the OUTPUT cursor parameter to pass a cursor that is local to a procedure back to the calling batch, procedure, or trigger.
First, create the procedure that declares and then opens a cursor on the Currency table:
IF OBJECT_ID ( 'dbo.uspCurrencyCursor', 'P' ) IS NOT NULL
DROP PROCEDURE dbo.uspCurrencyCursor;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.uspCurrencyCursor
@CurrencyCursor CURSOR VARYING OUTPUT
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON;
SET @CurrencyCursor = CURSOR
FORWARD_ONLY STATIC FOR
SELECT CurrencyCode, Name
FROM Sales.Currency;
OPEN @CurrencyCursor;
GO
Next, run a batch that declares a local cursor variable, executes the procedure to assign the cursor to the local variable, and then fetches the rows from the cursor.
DECLARE @MyCursor CURSOR;
EXEC dbo.uspCurrencyCursor @CurrencyCursor = @MyCursor OUTPUT;
WHILE (@@FETCH_STATUS = 0)
BEGIN;
FETCH NEXT FROM @MyCursor;
END;
CLOSE @MyCursor;
DEALLOCATE @MyCursor;
GO
