PL or SQL : Global cursor

Classification

Overview

Using global cusrors is a bad practice and it could have a dire security impact on the database server. The problem arises because global cursors in Oracle can be opened and executed outside of the package in which they are defined; further this can be done by a user with a different security level than the owner of the package in which the cursor has been defined.
