A cursorName refers to a cursor. No SQL language command exists to assign a name to a cursor. Instead, you use the JDBC API to assign names to cursors or to retrieve system-generated names. For more information, see the Derby Developer's Guide. If you assign a name to a cursor, you can refer to that name from within SQL statements.
You cannot qualify a cursorName.
