When you use context commands to manipulate data, 4D for Oracle transparently manages the creation of cursors on the server. A cursor is a memory buffer created by Oracle that contains information summarizing the status of a single SQL statement at any time.

Activating a context automatically triggers the creation of a cursor. This cursor is called the selection cursor. If you add, modify, or delete data on the server, another cursor is created. This is called the update cursor.
