SQL Serve cursor still alive

Hello,

using UniDac 6.2.10, is there a way to know if (and, icing on the cake, how much) query cursor are still alive.

I mean, if I have a query that should return more than 25 records (default fetch packet size), and the cursor is server side, SQL Server will not allow to start a transaction until the query is closed or fully fetched.

I would add a test in my code to check if some queries will avoid transaction opening.
Is it possible?

You can retrieve the list of the opened cursors using the sp_cursor_list stored procedure. To learn more abut sp_cursor_list, refer to the MSDN site: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms186256.aspx .

If server cursor is used in dataset, values of the FetchRows, FetchAll properties do not have influence on behavior of dataset. See more details about using server cursors in SDAC documentation at https://www.devart.com/sdac/docs/index. ... ortype.htm
