What does it do?
Possible clauses and additions of the main query after OPEN CURSOR. All the same clauses are possible as for a standalone SELECT statement except for SINGLE. The clauses define the result set, which can be accessed using the FETCH statement. The result set is regarded as having multiple rows.
The addition FOR ALL ENTRIES cannot be used if common table expressions are defined using WITH.
