What is the difference between explicit and implicit cursors in Oracle?

Question

I am a bit rusty on my cursor lingo in PL/SQL. Anyone know this?

Answer 1

Every SQL statement executed by the Oracle database has a cursor associated with it, which is a private work area to store processing information. Implicit cursors are implicitly created by the Oracle server for all DML and SELECT statements.

You can declare and use Explicit cursors to name the private work area, and access its stored information in your program block.
