OraOpen Function

Action

Associates a cursor with a database connection. A cursor serves to maintain state information about processing a SQL statement. In a test script, multiple cursors can be used at the same time. Usually, immediately after opening a cursor, the OraParse function is called to parse a SQL statement and associate the statement with a cursor.
