Customer question: "VAX SQL doesn't support dynamic cursors, does it?"
My question: What the #$%^ is a dynamic cursor? From the little I
could get out of the customer it is something different from a cursor
declaration prepared via dynamic SQL. Is this part of the ANSI
standard or simply a vendor's enhancement?
Any help greatly appreciated.

I'm guessing here, some database systems allow you to push/pop cursors
onto and off a stack. This is useful in a bill of materials type
application say where you want to save the current cursor, change your
rse, open a new cursor, retrieve a few records and then at the end of
this set pop your old cursor from the stack and carry on where you had
left off.

Might there be Multi-window correspondence also? As in a DEC/Xwindows
environment? Order header on one screen/Line item on another?
