1. Package CURSPACK declares a global cursor in the package specification. The

package contains three public procedures: OPENPROC opens the cursor; FETCHPROC fetches 5 rows
from the cursor's active set; CLOSEPROC closes the cursor.
What will happen when a user session executes the following commands in the order shown?
curspack.openproc; -- line 1
curspack.fetchproc; -- line 2
curspack.closeproc; -- line 6

(1) Points
The first 15 rows will be fetched.
The first 10 rows will be fetched, then the first 5 rows will be fetched again.
The first 5 rows will be fetched three times.

An error will occur at line 2.
An error will occur at line 4. (*)
Incorrect Incorrect. Refer to Section 11 Lesson 1.
2. A cursor is declared in a package specification. User SIOBHAN opens the

cursor and fetches the first three rows from the cursor's active set, but does not close the cursor.

opening the cursor. True or False? Mark for Review
