I don't really understand your point. You and the person you replied to are both agreeing that cursors are useful for large datasets. Whatever defines "large" isn't that interesting and is dependent on context: got a resource-constrained DB? Or very wide tables? Constraints on the client side for how much data it can consume and process? Then, maybe your "large" is a lot different to mine.

They are arguing it’s useful for smaller datasets as well.

> Whatever defines "large" isn't that interesting Some people get excited about huge datasets; I don't get it myself, but "big data" is a successful buzzword because it pushes people's buttons.
