Local Cursor Service
You can choose between using a client-side cursor library or one that
is located on the server. Cursor is a database element that controls record
navigation, updateability of data, and the visibility of changes made
to the database by other users.
Server side cursors are sometimes very flexible and allow for additional
sensitivity to changes others make to the data source. However, some features
of the Microsoft Cursor Service for OLE DB (such as disassociated Recordset
objects) cannot be simulated with server-side cursors and these features
will be unavailable with this setting.
In most cases, a client-side cursor is preferred, because scrolling
and updates are faster and more efficient, although returning data to
the client increases network traffic. In addition, only client-side cursors
can be disconnected.
