title: SQL Server Cursor Reference (Syntax, etc)
body: <p>I don't use SQL Server Cursors often but when I do, I always have to look up the syntax and options. </p>
  
  <p>So I wanted to ask, what is the best SQL Server Cursor reference on the web?. </p>
  
  <p>I'm looking for a reference that explains all of the (major?) options (I.E. FAST_FORWARD) and also shows quick snippets of how to use it.  (I.E. How to implement looping though a cursor and with a good practice for checking the @@FETCH_STATUS variable.)</p>
  
  <p>Best Regards,<br>
  Frank</p>
  
  <p><strong>Quick Update:</strong> I'm looking for a balance of quick-reference but detailed enough to see my options. As an example. MSDN is a great reference guide but it has too much detail. <strong>The reference, ideally, should be concise.</strong> </p>
  
  <p><strong>Further update:</strong> I'm still looking for sources. If someone posts a good source that fits my criteria of <em>concise</em>, I will accept that answer...</p>
